Dayo Olabode hadn’t hit much all night.
The Texas Tech sophomore picked up four fouls early and looked like she was going to be a nonfactor.
But with 1:28 remaining against Abilene Christian, she hit the biggest shot of the night.
Freshman Japreece Dean drove the lane and kicked out to the wide open Olabode, who drained a 3-pointer from the corner and gave the Lady Raiders just enough breathing room to hold off the upstart Wildcats 71-65 on Wednesday at United Supermarkets Arena.
Ivonne CookTaylor and Rayven Brooks continued their strong start to the season as the senior duo combined for 33 points.
