January 19, 2009
LEVELLAND, Texas - The South Plains College Lady Texans improved to 17-4 overall and 4-1 in Western Junior College Athletic Conference play with a 64-45 victory over the Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen.
South Plains College came out a bit sluggish as they trailed 13-11 with ten minutes to go in the first half. However, the Lady Texans were able to go to the locker room with a 21-18 halftime lead.

Frank Phillips never got within 16 points after that as the Lady Texans cruised to victory.
Freshman guard Sajoyia Griffin had a terrific game, recording a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Lubbock native Taniqua Ards added 12 points and six rebounds, while Chasity Workman had a solid game scoring eight points and pulling down seven rebounds. Also for SPC, Dayon Hall-Jones scored nine points, Lashanda Luckey added six, McKinsie East tallied five, Samiesha Williams had four, and Christen McLee scored three.
