After missing their first five shots and turning the ball over four times, the Jets finally broke through by scoring six in a row to pull within 13-6. Talexa Weeter<\/a><\/dfn> ended the run with a 3-pointer, giving the Tigers a 16-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.

FHSU pulled away thanks to a 20-3 run midway through the frame where the Tigers hit 8-of-12 from the floor while holding the Jets to 1-of-5 shooting and creating four turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State continued to pour it on in the fourth quarter, outscoring the home team 21-8 to push the lead as high as 41 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newman’s point total was its lowest scoring output of the season. The Tigers finished the game shooting 44.8 percent (30-of-67) while holding the Jets to 26.8 percent shooting (15-of-56).
