LAFAYETTE, La. — As quickly as lit the torch against Louisiana on Saturday afternoon, the senior forward passed it fellow senior throughout the second half as the duo combined for 40 points.
But it wasn't enough as Louisiana (9-3, 1-1) withstood a late fourth-quarter rally from Texas State (6-8, 1-1) to escape with a 78-72 win.
Taylor, just two nights after scoring 10 points and dishing out eight assists in the Bobcats' eight-point win at ULM, continued to showcase her top-tier point guard abilities as the Dallas native went for 20 points, had nine assists, credited with five steals, and brought down five rebounds while playing all 40 minutes for the second time in a three-day span.
