🔼 Cue the Conference. The women’s basketball team began conference play with a big dub. The Pirates took down UTSA 82-54, scoring 20+ points in three of the quarters. Four of the women scored in the double figures— Karina Gordon, Danae McNeal, Tatyana Wyche and Taliyah Wyche.

Gordon started off on fire as she filled Micah Dennis’s place for the night. She made three of her three attempts from behind the arc and ended the game with 22 points.
