<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Baylor topped the HCU Huskies, 79-35, on Sunday afternoon inside the Ferrell Center. The 44-point win was the largest margin of victory for BU against a non-conference opponent since besting Alcorn State
by 54 last season. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A trio of Bears reached double figures, as freshman Bella Fontleroy matched a career-high 17 points to lead the way. Senior Jaden Owens notched 14 points to reach double digits for the fourth-straight game,
while sophomore Kendra Gillispie added a career-high 10 points in her first-career start.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Bella Fontleroy was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week on Monday for the second time this season. She led all rookies in the league in scoring, rebounding and field-goal percentage. The Springfield, Mo.,
native poured in a game- and team-high 17 points in the victory and added a career-best 11 rebounds for her first-career double-double. Fontleroy has recorded double-figure scoring in four-straight games off the bench and six out of eight contests this season.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Baylor is 19-3 all-time against UTA and a perfect 13-0 in Waco. Last season, the Bears topped the Mavericks on the road, 81-54. The Mavs enter Wednesday’s contest on a three-game win streak and 5-4 overall
record. The game will be UTA’s third against a Big 12 opponent this season after falling to Kansas (79-74) and Oklahoma (89-80). Six of the Mavericks’ nine games have been decided by 10 points or less, and UTA is 2-1 in true road contests this season.
