K-State has won all 10 home games it has played this <<season. The Lady Raiders fell to 12-6 overall and 4-4 in the Big 12 <<and had a three-game winning streak snapped that included wins over a <<pair of ranked teams. << Kansas State, which hit 18 of 22 shots (82 percent) from the <<floor in the second half, put four players in double figures. Kristin <<Rethman had 15 points, including a 4-for-5 effort from three-point <<range, while Laurie Koehn had 13 points and Megan Mahoney added 11. << Jia Perkins finished with 24 points for Tech, scoring 18 in <<the first half. She went 1-for-8 in the second half after hitting 8 <<of her 12 shots before halftime. Casey Jackson added 11 points and 10 <<rebounds for the Lady Raiders. << The game was tied at 41-41 with 15:20 remaining when the <<Wildcats grabbed the lead for good on a bucket by Ohlde, who had 17 <<points on 8-for-8 shooting from the floor in the second half. << K-State led 55-51 with 8:45 to play when back-to-back layups <<by Mahoney gave the 'Cats an eight-point lead. The Raiders were <<within 65-59 with 4:25 left when the Wildcats made their decisive <<run. Shalondra Booker hit a three-pointer, Mahoney added a layup and <<Ohlde scored on a three-point play to put K-State ahead 74-59 with <<1:34 to play. << Texas Tech held a 35-32 edge on the boards, but second-half <<shooting was the difference in the game. While the Wildcats were hot <<from the field after halftime, Tech managed just 27 percent shooting <<from the floor, hitting just 9 of 34 shots. << Rethman finished with five assists for Kansas State, while <<Candi White had six and Perkins added five assists and five steals. << Kansas State travels to 13th-ranked Texas on Wednesday before <<returning home on Saturday, Feb. 2 to play No. 14 Iowa State. The <<game against the Cyclones is also a sellout. << << <<--ksu-- <<-- <<***************************************************** << <<Doug Dull, Sports Information Director <<Kansas State University <<1800 College Avenue <<Manhattan, KS 66502 <<Phone: 785/532-7977 <<Fax: 785/532-6093 <<www.k-statesports.com << <
