Clarksville, Ark.-The UT-Dallas Lady Comets defeated Ozarks 80-73 in American Southwest Conference play on Monday night.
The Lady Comets (4-9, 3-7) opened the game with the first shot and never looked back as they improved to 3-7 in ASC play. UT-Dallas stormed out in front in the first half, holding a 33-12 lead with 8:02 remaining, but took just a 38-35 advantage into intermission. The Lady Eagles (2-11, 2-8) cut into the deficit when they went on a 23-5 to finish out the first half.
