St. Thomas Battles For The Win

HOUSTON, TX – The University of St. Thomas Women's basketball team defended home court Sunday afternoon, earning a 61–54 victory over Concordia University Texas at the Jerabeck Activity and Athletic Center. The win moves the Celts to 14–6 overall and 8–5 in SCAC play.

UST opened the game with strong defensive pressure and physical play inside. Macie Whitfield established an early presence on the glass, while Branasia Brazelton attacked the lane to help the Celts edge ahead. The opening period featured multiple lead changes, but disciplined defense allowed St. Thomas to take a narrow 17–16 lead after one.

The Celts found their rhythm in the second quarter, combining patient offense with timely free throws. Kenna Gibson knocked down a key perimeter shot, and Amyia Bowie facilitated the offense, creating opportunities for teammates. UST outscored Concordia 20–17 in the quarter and went into halftime holding a 37–33 advantage.

Both teams tightened up defensively coming out of the break. Whitfield and Jaydia Morris controlled the paint, limiting second chances, while Brazelton continued to draw contact and convert from the line. Though scoring was limited on both sides, St. Thomas maintained control and carried a 48–45 lead into the final period.

UST closed the game with composure and defensive focus. Brazelton and Whitfield delivered key baskets and free throws down the stretch, while the Celts' defense held Concordia to just nine points in the quarter. Strong rebounding and ball security allowed St. Thomas to pull away late and secure the 61–54 conference win.

Whitfield and Brazelton led the Celts with 13 points apiece, while Gibson added nine. Bowie contributed eight points and six assists, and Morris anchored the interior with seven rebounds. UST controlled the paint and capitalized at the free-throw line to seal the victory.
