BROWNWOOD, Texas - The Lady Jackets forced 30 East Texas Baptist turnovers on their way to a 76-39 win on Thursday night in the Brownwood Coliseum.

Howard Payne found themselves down early in the game as ETBU started on a 12-0 run. HPU guard Kristin Hendrick (Ann Arbor, Mich) broke the HPU drought with a 3-point bucket at the 16:25 mark in the first half.

HPU went into the half with a 34-23 lead.

The Lady Jackets defense stepped it up even more in the second half only allowing only 16 ETBU second-half points. HPU posted a 76-39 win.

The Lady Jackets were led by Meia Daniels' double-double, 19 points and 10 rebounds. Kim Hoffman (Bloomington) had 13 and Stacey Blalock (Magnolia) had 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Kristin Hendrick came off the bench to score 12 on 4 of 7 shooting from the 3-point line.
