LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas State women's basketball battled on the road at Texas Tech but fell 83-50 on Sunday afternoon.

Mia Galbraith as she had 15 alongside 11 points from
Kyra Anderson and 10 from
Saniya Burks. The two combined for 36 of the Bobcats points tonight.
HOW IT HAPPENED:

Galbraith led the Bobcats with 11 points through the first half after a nine-point second quarter on 4-7 shooting.
Out of the halftime break, Burks shooting 3-5 from the field helped her get six points to get her second-consecutive double-digit night to start the year. Despite the team's shooting improving, Texas Tech was able to expand their lead to 25
.
The Red Raiders were able to widen the gap in the fourth quarter as the Bobcats struggled to find their shots.
