History <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, Texas \u2013\u00a0Jadyn Atchison<\/a> recorded a career-high in blocks and added 17 points, but UT Arlington women’s basketball \u00a0(10-19, 4-13 WAC)\u00a0fell to Tarleton State(13-16, 7-11 WAC), 63-56, on Thursday night at College Park Center.<\/p>\n

Atchison led the way with 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting and added a career high of four blocks, while Laura Bello<\/a> pulled down a team-best seven rebounds and Kendal Robinson<\/a> added nine points off the bench. Mila Reynolds<\/a> chipped in nine points.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Atchison on her mindset in this game, “Get stops on defense so we can get good looks on offense, whether it was me, or my teammates.” Atchison said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nUTA controlled the glass in the first half, outrebounding Tarleton State 22-20, with Laura Bello<\/a> leading the way with six rebounds. The Mavericks also turned Tarleton miscues into opportunities, scoring seven points off turnovers.<\/p>\n

The Lady Mavericks used a 13-point second quarter to erase a three-point deficit after the opening frame and carry momentum into the locker room. Tarleton State held a 15-12 advantage after the first quarter, but UTA responded with improved efficiency on both ends of the floor in the second.<\/p>\n

Tarleton State responded in the third, outscoring UTA 22-11 to flip the game and take a 44-36 lead into the fourth. The Texans shot 7-of-13 from the floor in the period and used timely perimeter shooting to create separation after the Mavericks had led for much of the opening half.<\/p>\n

UTA continued to fight in the fourth and got within striking distance late, but Tarleton State was able to close it out at the free-throw line and hold on down the stretch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UT Arlington shot 40.0 percent, 22-55 from the floor, matching Tarleton State’s percentage, but the Texans knocked down seven 3-pointers compared to one for the Mavericks. Tarleton State also finished with a 37-32 edge on the glass.<\/p>\n

Jakoriah Long led the Texans\u00a0with 19 points, while Gia Adams<\/a> added 14 and Kennedy Jones finished with 10.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

“But we’ve got to continue to grow, and we will, Coach Wright said. I think it starts with me, I’m going to instill confidence in my team…This is a game of runs. You’re going to have highs and lows in games, but competitors show up at the moment, ” head coach Wright said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
