On a night where the Howard Payne Lady Jackets seemed a step or two off in all aspects of their game, the season came to an end as the Sul Ross Lady Lobos captured a 75-65 victory in the quarterfinals of the American Southwest Conference Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament Wednesday at the Brownwood Coliseum.
The victory is the first for Sul Ross (10-13), the third seed from the West Division, in the ASC tournament in just their second appearance. Despite the loss and a chance to host the rest of the ASC tournament, Howard Payne (10-7) still owns the most wins in the history of the tournament with 22.
