SAN ANGELO – The Angelo State women's basketball team scored 20 points off 21 West Texas A&M turnovers to upset the No. 1 Lady Buffs 69-64 at Stephens Arena in the Junell Center on Wednesday night.

The Belles (9-4, 2-1 LSC) snapped a six game losing streak to West Texas A&M (14-1, 4-1) and broke WT's 15 game winning streak. ASU scored 18 second chance points from 14 offensive rebounds on the night. WT shot 50.0-percent from the field and held the Belles to just 39.1 percent. Angelo State hit 13-for-19 from the charity stripe compared to just 6-for-11 for WT.

"It was a great team win," Angelo State head women's basketball coach Kevin Baker said. "WT has such a good program and to be able to beat them is really something special. I think our team will remember this one for a really long time."

Three Belles scored in double figures led by Brea Mitchell's 19 points. Jasmine Prophet added 14 points with six coming from the free throw line and a team high six rebounds. KeAnna Kelly contributed 13 points and two assists. Taylor Dorsey led the team with seven assists and two steals.

Angelo State added to its largest lead of the night on a 3-pointer by Dorsey to take a 42-29 advantage with 8:38 to go in the third quarter. West Texas A&M came out and slowly whittled away at ASU's 10 point lead.  A 21-8 run that spanned the entire third quarter trimmed the Belles lead down to one after a jumper by WT's Zantaya Davis at 51-50. Dorsey made sure it wasn't the last points of the quarter rebounding a miss of her own 3-pointer to hit a jumper in the paint and take 53-50 score into the fourth quarter.

Kelly opened the fourth quarter with a layup and a pair of free throws by Prophet extended the lead to seven at 57-50. WT battled back with a 10-3 run to tie the game at 60 with a Madison McLain 3-pointer. Mitchell drained a bucket in the short corner but WT again tied it with a pair of free throws with 2:55 to play in the game.

The Belles came down the court and Prophet hit a jumper in the paint and was fouled. The junior drained the free throw to give ASU a 65-62 advantage. A missed three pointer by WT forced a foul and Prophet hit one-of-two free throws to make it 66-62. West Texas A&M wasn't quitting and a jumper by WT's Davis in the lane. Davis was fouled but missed the free throw. ASU took the ball down the court with 42 seconds to go but WT got a steal and called a time out with 30 seconds to go.

WT's Sasha Watson took the ball out of the timeout and tried to create in the lane but was called for a charge to give the ball back to ASU with just 14 second left. Mitchell hit one-of-two free throws to give ASU the lead with 12 second to go. The game-tying three pointer was off the mark and Christina Robinson secured the upset with a pair of the free throws for the final score of 69-64.

"I thought we played really good defense and we took care of the ball," Baker said. "Even though they were able to make that run to get back in the game, we were able to hit clutch shot after clutch shot down the stretch."

ASU had an excellent first half shooting 41.2-percent and taking a 10-point lead, 37-27, in part by scoring 25 points in the second quarter. Both teams shot lights out in the second quarter. WT hit 50.0-percent from the field and 33.3-percent from behind the arc but the Belles were better. ASU drained 56.3-percent from the field and was a perfect three-for-three from three pointers. Kelly scored 11 of her 13 points in the second quarter.

The first quarter was a low scoring one. Angelo State scored 12 points on 27.8-percent shooting. West Texas A&M hit 41.7-percent from the field but were slowed by seven turnovers.

The Belles will hit the road to face Eastern New Mexico on Saturday, Jan. 16 at 3 p.m. CST in Portales, New Mexico.
