Andrews Breaks Baylor 3-Point Record, Bears Take Down Louisiana Tech, 98-54

WACO, Texas - Baylor (7-2) extended its winning streak to three games after taking down Lousiana Tech (4-3), 98-54, on Sunday afternoon at Foster Pavilion.

With just over 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter, guard Sarah Andrews (5Sr.) came off a screen, stepped back and drained a 3-pointer at the top of the key to tie Baylor legend Odyssey Sims’ program record of 258 made 3-pointers.

Andrews later broke the record and took sole possession of first place on the all-time 3-pointer list with another make beyond the arc in the fourth quarter. She finished with 11 points, six rebounds and four assists on the afternoon.

Center Aaronette Vonleh (Sr.) led the Bears in scoring with a season-high 22 points on 10-12 shooting. Vonleh is averaging over 20 points across her last three games.

Three different Bears recorded a double-double in the victory.

Guard Jada Walker (Sr.) collected her second career double-double with 14 points, a team-high 10 assists and five steals.

Forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs (Jr.) notched her second straight double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Fellow forward Bella Fontleroy (Jr.) added 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Baylor looked to Vonleh down low early and often to open the contest. The preseason Big 12 Newcomer of the Year had seven of the Bears' 16 first-quarter points.

In the second quarter, Baylor closed the half on a 24-2 run, with six different players adding a bucket during that stretch. The Bears had 10 assists on 15 first-half, made field goals, and led 42-21 going into the locker room.

The Bears dominated in the second half, forcing 21 turnovers and out-scoring the Lady Techsters 56-33 over the final two quarters.

Baylor will continue its five-game homestand against Texas Southern (1-4) at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at Foster Pavilion.
