That 11-0 run was started by Raven Burns who nailed a right corner three with 1:51 left on the clock.
 
Then, with 1:01 remaining, the Roadrunners turned over the ball that ultimately resulted in an open look for Anderson on the left wing. The Irving, Texas native proceeded to nail the three-pointer to cut the Roadrunner lead to one.
 
Five made free throws later by Anderson and a UTSA turnover sealed the deal for the Bobcat victory.
 
For the entirety of the contest prior to Anderson's run, the Bobcats would play catch-up to the Roadrunners.
 
After taking a four-point lead into the half, the Roadrunners opened the second half with an 8-0 run en route to their largest lead of the game. That lead proceeded to swell between two and 12 points until Anderson's three that cut the lead to one.
 
Meghan Braeuer and Erin Peoples continued to be strong offensive keys for the Bobcats as they each contributed 15 points in the victory. Braeuer finished the game shooting 4-of-8 from beyond the arc for Texas State while Peoples led the team with four steals.
