UT Women snap losing streak

AUSTIN(KXAN) - The UT Women won their final regular season home on Wednesday 60-41 over Missouri, but it wasn't the last time they'll play at the Erwin Center this season.  Texas will host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament.

Senior Brittainey Raven led the balanced attack with 13 points as the Horns built a 16 point halftime lead.  All nine Longhorns that played, scored in the game. 

The victory snapped a three game losing streak the Horns have been stuck in after winning six in a row.

"It feels good, " said head coach Gail Goestenkors.  "Everybody in the league has gone through winning streaks and losing streaks besides Nebraska(28-0), everybody so we understand that.  We took a couple of tough losses but now we are ready to start another winning streak."

The celebration was tempered a bit as freshman Cokie Reed left the arena on crutches after suffering a foot injury.

Texas improves to 20-9 and 9-6 in the Big XII.  The Longhorns close the regular season at Baylor on Sunday where the Lady Bears will be without Freshman sensation Brittney Griner who was ejected in Lubbock after punching Texas Tech's Jordan Barncastle.
