Wright’s historic night helps TexAnns win

By Todd Coley—

It was a hotly contested game between the TexAnns and A&M Kingsville tonight but Raven McGrath’s 16 points helped put the ladies past the Javelinas 72-55.

Kiara Wright made history in Wisdom Gym against Kingsville becoming the all time leading scorer for Tarleton in the NCAA era. Wright was held to just one point in the first half but was able to get it going in the second.

The TexAnns took a two point lead into the locker room but came out determined. Opening the second half on a 7-2 run fueled by 6 points from Wright, the TexAnns took a lead they would not give up.
