| Former Lady Jackets Standout Angela Felton goes up for a shot against Utah State in the 2012 WAC Tournament Semifinals. |
March 9, 2012
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -
Jasmine Bendolph and
Angie Felton combined for 40 points and
Whitney Jones hit two clutch free throws with nine seconds to play to lift Louisiana Tech to a 73-69 win over Utah State in the semifinals of the 2012 Western Athletic Conference Tournament Friday at the Orleans Arena.
With the victory, Tech advances to the championship game of the tournament and will face the winner of Fresno State and Idaho Saturday at 5 p.m. CT in a game that will be televised on the WAC Sports Network.
In one of its top offensive games of the season, the Lady Techsters shot 49 percent (26-53) from the field, 7-of-17 from the three-point line and 14-of-16 from the free throw line to defeat the Aggies for the second time this season. Tech improved to 14-2 all-time against Utah State.
After building a 62-50 lead with just over eight minutes to play, Louisiana Tech had to withstand a furious Utah State rally that saw the Aggies close the deficit to within 71-69 on a three-point play by Brooke Jackson with only 31 seconds to play.
On the ensuing inbounds play, Tech turned the ball over as Utah State had two opportunities to tie or take the lead. However, Jackson's layup was blocked by Felton and Devyn Christensen's three-pointer was off target.
Utah State then fouled Jones with nine seconds to play as the West Monroe native calmly sank a pair of free throws to seal the win.
Bendolph and Felton kept the Aggies at arm's length all day. Bendolph scored a season-high 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting while also adding five rebounds and four assists in 40 minutes of action. Felton added a career-high 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting with six rebounds, a career-high five steals and two blocks.
