Box Score Freshman Jordan Meltzer scored a career-high 17 points, but her efforts were not enough as the Colorado College women's basketball team dropped a 75-55 decision to Texas Lutheran University on Friday evening in Seguin, Texas.
 
The guard made 11-of-12 shots from the free-throw line, while recording three field goals to lead all players in scoring. Sophomore guard Payton Katich also scored in double figures for the seventh time this season with 10 points.
 
Texas Lutheran held an 18-12 advantage after 10 minutes of action and took a 19-12 lead on a free throw by Bryanna Delgado four seconds into the second quarter. However, Katich made a three-pointer and Meltzer drained a jumper with 8:02 left in the second quarter to cut the Bulldogs' lead to 19-17.
 
That proved to be as close as the Tigers would get as TLU closed out the quarter on a 13-7 run to take a 32-24 lead at intermission.
 
Freshman forward Jordan Underbrink grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds and scored six points for CC, which dropped to 2-21 on the season and 1-11 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
 
Texas Lutheran was led by Kristen Lye with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Delgado and Kasey Hairell added 12 and 11 points, respectively.  
 
With the victory, the Bulldogs improved to 18-5 on the season and 10-2 in the SCAC.
 
Colorado College will play at Southwestern University on Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m. CT.
