DENVER – Texas State women's basketball is now on a four-game win streak, including three road wins, to improve to 6-3 on the season after a 63-60 win at Denver on Sunday afternoon.
 
Ja'Mia Harris had a 16-point night, just one shy of her career high, to lead the Bobcats in the win. Additionally, Destiny Terrell had her fourth double-digit night of the season with 10 in the win.
 
Texas State is now 3-1 on the road during the 2024-2025 season.

HOW IT HAPPENED: 
Despite matching the first five points, Denver got out to a slight lead in the middle of the first quarter. A 5-0 run put the Pioneers out to a 9-4 lead. From there, though, the Bobcats battled back. Late in the quarter the Bobcats went on a run, holding the Pioneers scoreless in the final three minutes of the first quarter to bring the game back within five. The Pioneers led 15-10 after one quarter. 
 
The Bobcats were firing on all cylinders in the second quarter, though, outscoring Denver 22-11. Highlighting that showing was 9-18 shooting from the Bobcats, while limiting Denver to just 2-12 shooting. The Bobcats also outrebounded the Pioneers 12-7 in the second quarter. Harris led in scoring for the Bobcats in the first half with eight points. Heading into the break the Bobcats led 32-26, overcoming a five-point deficit from the first quarter.
 
Out of the halftime break, Denver came out the aggressors. While limiting the Bobcats to just seven points in the first half of the quarter, Denver erased their deficit with 12 in five minutes to make it a one-point game. Despite better shooting from the Bobcats in the final five minutes of the third, the Pioneers took a 42-41 lead into the fourth quarter.
 
The fourth quarter was back and forth the whole way through. The two sides shot nearly identically, with the Bobcats going 6-13 and the Pioneers going 5-12. The difference ultimately came from the free throw line, where the Bobcats shot 10-12 to the Pioneers 8-10. Despite five lead changes, the Bobcats held the lead for eight minutes in the fourth to get the 63-60 road win.
