SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The Texas State women's basketball program closed out the non-conference portion of its 2021-22 regular season schedule with a trip to San Diego, where the Toreros earned a 78-58 win.
A pair of seniors led the Bobcats (5-7) in scoring as guard
Kennedy Taylor netted 13 points — with six coming from behind the 3-point arc — and forward
Jaeda Reed going for 13, too, on 60-percent shooting.
Jo'Nah Johnson, an offseason graduate transfer from Texas Tech, went for double digits (10) for the third time in her Texas State career.
Tuesday afternoon's scoring performance marked the first time Texas State had three women's basketball student-athletes score double figures since Reed (19),
Ja'Kayla Bowie (13) and Taylor (12) did so against UTEP on Monday, Dec. 13, 2021.
Bowie fell a basket short of making it a quartet in double digits as the guard had seven points on 3-of-5 shooting in a team-high 33 minutes of game action.
