LeTourneau’s Big Fourth Quarter Nets Win Over Women’s Basketball Team

Longview, Texas-LeTourneau University pulled out a 65-58 win over the University of the Ozarks women's basketball team behind a 31-point fourth quarter effort Thursday night in American Southwest Conference play.

The Eagles (7-8, 3-5 ASC) led 14-12 after one quarter of play and then held a 23-17 advantage at halftime. Ozarks shot 35 percent from the floor in the game, while LeTourneau (8-8, 6-3 ASC) hit just 32 percent of its shots. The Eagles went cold in the fourth quarter hitting only 26 percent. But LeTourneau found its rhythm and made nine field and all ten of its free throws in the final period.

Delanei Stephens paced Ozarks with 17 points.

Ozarks will travel to Tyler, Texas, to face Texas-Tyler January 14.
