The Lady Toppers used a 21-point, eight rebound and five assist outing by junior guard Alexis Mead to defeat the Lady Techsters in the previous meeting between WKU and LA tech. Despite her great performance, WKU’s 21 forced turnovers were key to pulling away with the win.
The Lady Techsters are led by senior forward Anna Larr Roberson who averages 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. LA Tech averages 63.1 points per game as a team and allows 63.3 points per game, both marks under WKU.
