DENTON – Three ACU Wildcats scored in double figures Wednesday night as they rolled to an easy 75-50 win over Texas Woman's in their final appearance at Kitty Magee Arena.
The win pushes the Wildcats to 9-3 overall and 5-2 in the Lone Star Conference, while the Pioneers fall to 4-9 and 2-5. ACU will be back in action Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when it hosts Southwest Adventist in a non-conference game at Moody Coliseum.
Sophomore
Sadie Dickinson led the Wildcats with 17 points, while
Mackenzie Lankford had 14 and
Kelsey Smith 13 in the Wildcats' rout. The win improves ACU's all-time record against Texas Woman's to 40-13.
