Martin sparked a late 7\u20130 run, highlighted by her jumper with 1:39 remaining. Harris also added a steal-and-score during the closing stretch. The Tigers produced 22 points in the paint for the game and posted 10 fastbreak points.<\/p>\n<p>Vanderbilt was led by Blakes&#8217; 24 points and a near triple-double from freshman point guard Aubrey Galvan, who finished with 16 points, 15 assists, and nine steals.<\/p>\n<p>Game Notes<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The TSU bench accounted for 18 total points.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The Lady Tigers forced 15 Vanderbilt turnovers, led by Martin and Young with two steals each.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>TSU grabbed 10 offensive rebounds, including five from <a href=\"https:\/\/tsutigers.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/erin-martin\/5204\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"5204\" target=\"_blank\">Erin Martin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Webb scored a team-high 16 points and hit one of TSU&#8217;s three made threes.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>TSU scored 22 points in the paint and produced 12 second-chance points.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>TSU recorded six steals, including two each by Martin and Young.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Up Next<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nTSU returns home to host William &amp; Mary in the Gentry Center on Saturday, November 29 at 1 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: William &amp; Mary 11\/29\/2025 | 1:00 PM &#13; ESPN+ &#13; &#13; Nov. 29&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-304226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
