LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) – Plenette Pierson scored 19 points, and two
reserve freshmen added 14 each as Texas Tech beat Pennsylvania
100-57 Friday night in the first round of the Mideast Regional.
Bob Knight, in town for meetings with Tech officials about its
men's coaching vacancy, watched from the athletic director's box.
The Lady Raiders held all Penn scorers but two below six points
to spoil the Quakers' first NCAA Tournament appearance and snap their
NCAA-best 21-game winning streak.
Texas Tech (23-6) scored 100 points for the first time this year
and earned its seventh straight first-round win. The Lady Raiders
will play Virginia Tech, which beat Denver 77-57, in the second
round Sunday.
Freshmen reserves Natalie Ritchie and Jolee Ayers each had 14
points for the Raiders.
Tech held Penn (22-5) to 37.5 percent shooting from the field
and limited Diana Caramanico _ one of the nation's top shooters –
to 15 points, down from her 21.5 average.
Jennifer Jones led the Ivy League champions with 19 points.
