FORT WORTH, TX: The Texas Wesleyan University women's basketball team (6-6, 2-2 SAC) picked a dominant 80-59 win over Southwestern Assemblies of God University (7-7, 1-3 SAC) at the Sid Richardson Center on Thursday night.
 
The game was tied 6-6 before the Lady Rams went on a 6-0 run capped by a Maggie Briggs-Scribner jumper to make it a 12-6 lead six minutes into the game. Texas Wesleyan kept pushing the lead, and Liz Handy made it a 34-22 advantage with less than five minutes remaining in the half.  Wesleyan took a 39-29 lead at the break. The Lady Rams turned the ball over 13 times, but overcame the difficulties by out-rebounding the Lions 39-29 and shooting 60 percent from the field.
 
The Lady Rams virtually eliminated the turnovers in the second half and continued to win the rebound battle, as SAGU continued their poor shooting effort.
