LUBBOCK, TX. - The non-conference portion of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff women's basketball team schedule has all but come and gone as UAPB will play at Texas Tech Friday at 7 pm.  

The final non-conference game vs Philander Smith has been moved to Sunday, Dec. 29 and will be played in Little Rock at 3 p.m. at Mims Gym. 

Friday's game will be broadcast live online at TexasTech.TV with live stats via uapblionsroar.com or the free UAPB Athletics App.

In their most recent outing on the road, the Lady Lions are coming off a 100-50 loss to Wichita St.  The Red Raiders (8-0) are on an eight-game winning streak and coming off an 82-48 defeat to Prairie View Tuesday.

"We've spent a lot of time focusing on us as we prepare for the matchup against Texas Tech because they are playing really good basketball right now," said UAPB assistant coach Nicole Mealing. "They can spread the floor because of their ability to shoot the three-ball efficiently. Their post players are probably the best we will see this season, and we know coming that this game will test us in a way we haven't been tested before. We just have to continue to grow and get better at paying attention to the small details."

In the matchup against the Shockers, junior Jayla Atmore, who's tied for second on the team in scoring with an average of 9.3, led the Lady Lions with 13 points, followed by senior Kyeonia Harris with nine points and leads the team with an average of 8.6 points per game. Senior Noe'll Taylor, who's second on the team in total steals with 16, added eight points.
