LUBBOCK, Texas – A career and record-setting performance from Serena Sundell and a third-quarter rally were not enough for K-State as Texas Tech held on for a 78-68 win on Sunday at United Supermarkets Arena.

K-State (14-10, 3-8 Big 12) had three players reach double digits for the 20th time this season. The Wildcat attack was led by sophomore Serena Sundell, who registered a career-high 27 points. Among Sundell’s 27 points was a career-best 16-of-18 effort from the free throw line. Her 16 made free throws rank as the second-most free throws made in a game in K-State history, trailing the record of 17 held by Angie Bonner against Georgia on Jan. 6, 1983.

Sundell’s free throw performance set a number of school records including: most free throws made in a conference game in school history, most free throws made in a half (15 in the second half), tied the school record for free throw attempts in a half (16 in the second half) and set the school record for free throws made in any quarter and in a third quarter (9).

Sundell also added five rebounds, four assists and four steals to her final line.

Joining Sundell in double figures were senior guard Gabby Gregory with 16 points and sophomore guard Brylee Glenn with 12 points.

Texas Tech (16-7, 4-6) put four in double figures and were led by Bre’Amber Scott with 18 points, including 17 in the second half. Jasmine Shavers added 17 points and seven rebounds, while Bryn Gerlich and Bailey Maupin added 16 each.
