Three West Texas A&M players scored in double digits, including a game-high 19 from junior Emily Brister to lead the Lady Buffs; plus Lee added 12 and junior Jamie Dreiling scored 11 in the win. The win is the third in a row for WT, who improves to 3-2 and extends the Lady Buffs home winning streak at the First United Bank Center to 35 games.
