ABILENE, Texas – McMurry Women's Basketball matched a season-high in scoring with 87 points, earning its second straight American Southwest Conference win with an 87-82 victory over Sul Ross State on Saturday at Kimbrell Arena.

Dominating the paint, over half of McMurry's scoring came from two post players. Senior Skyler Reyna finished with 29 points, while freshman Destiny Mathews ended with a new career high of 24 points. The two combined to go 22-34 from the floor, which equates to nearly 65 percent.

Mathews led the team with nine rebounds, while Reyna finished with seven.

In the high-scoring affair, both teams shot over 50.0 percent on field goals. McMurry (9-4, 2-3 ASC) finished shooting 55.9 percent, while Sul Ross (4-10, 2-3) made 54.2 percent. Free throws were also fairly even, but McMurry had two more three-point baskets to make the difference.

The first quarter saw seven lead changes each way, but the War Hawks would go on a 10-2 run to end the frame with momentum and a five-point lead. McMurry led by double-digits at one point in the second quarter, but the Lobos cut the lead to four at the half, 42-38.

With McM up four in the second half, Reyna and Mathews would begin to take over. Each of the two made a pair of baskets for an 8-0 run, re-extending the lead to double-digits. Sul Ross played catchup the rest of the way, but could never get back within one possession.

Other contributors for McMurry include senior guard Sarah Doherty and freshman guard Taya Bridges, as the two resulted in four of the team's five three-point baskets. Doherty finished 3-7 from behind the arc for nine points, while Bridges ended with one trey and seven points.

Junior guard Francheska Aguino facilitated the high-scoring offense with a season-high eight assists, while limiting herself to just three turnovers.

McMurry will look for two more ASC wins next week as the team heads to Concordia Texas on Thursday, Jan. 16 and Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday, Jan. 18.
