The Pioneers concluded the weekend on a high note and defeated Southern Nazarene 14-3, as four Pioneers finished with 28 points.
"Our goal was to get out there and hit clean routines," said Head Coach Jasmine Owens. We knew if we stayed focused and played smart, we could win in all three games. We went through many changes and adjustments in the week leading up to the tournament, but they kept focus to accomplish our goals."
TWU will hit the road and head to San Antonio, Texas, for an LSC matchup against St. Mary's on Friday, Feb. 23, at 3 p.m.
