Red-Hot Lady Techsters Begin CUSA Tournament Play Against Delaware
The Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters will open play in the Conference USA Tournament on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. when they face Delaware.
Head coach Brooke Stoehr’s squad enters the tournament riding a 17-game winning streak and owns a 24–5 overall record. Delaware advanced to Wednesday’s matchup after defeating Kennesaw State 66–47 in first-round action, improving the Blue Hens to 13–18 on the season.
The two teams met once during the regular season, back on January 8, when the Techsters traveled to Delaware and came away with a 65–50 victory. That win also marked the beginning of Louisiana Tech’s current 17-game winning streak.
Stoehr, now in her 10th season leading her alma mater, was recently named Conference USA Coach of the Year following the team’s outstanding regular season. She currently holds a 173–132 record during her tenure in Ruston.
