SHREVEPORT – The UT Tyler women’s basketball team out-rebounded Centenary, 61-36, to win their second game in a row on Saturday with an 81-71 victory at the Gold Dome in non-conference women’s basketball action.

The Patriots, who led by as many as 20 in the second half, shot 44-percent for the game while limiting Centenary to just 31-percent.

The win improves UT Tyler to 11-12 on the season.

UT Tyler opened up the afternoon with back-to-back three-pointers to keep Centenary from gaining any composure.

The Patriots went on an 8-0 run over the Ladies from 15:24 to 11:59 in the first half and jumped out to a 41-26 margin at the break.

The women return to the Herrington Patriot Center this week for their final two games of the regular season, hosting UT Dallas on Thursday and Ozarks on Saturday.
