Lamar led from the opening basket, a three-pointer by Jenna Plumley 17 seconds after the tip. Texas State came back to within 12-11, but Lamar scored the next five points and increased its lead steadily through the game.

Lamar’s Kalis Lloyd led all scorers with 28 points. Plumley chipped in 14 for the Cardinals and Darika Hill added 10. Victoria Davis led the Bobcats with 14 points, while Kelsey Krupa added 13.
