Colorado College extended its win streak to a season-long four games with a 67-63 victory over Texas Lutheran on Sunday at Reid Arena.
 
The Tigers won their second game in as many days following a 71-58 win over Southwestern University and solidified their hold on fourth place in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference standings.
 
Audrey Bayston led a trio of Tigers with double-digit scoring efforts, tallying 25 points, including a 4-for-8 effort from beyond the arc. Talia Cloud chipped in a season-high 18 points, including a team-leading and career-best six three-pointers.
 
Anna Fanelli dished out 11 assists to move into second place on the single-season helpers list with 186, trailing only Melanie August (192 in 2007-08). Fanelli also boasts the No. 4 spot on the single-season list with 140 during the 2019-20 season. 
 
As a team, CC hit 40.7 percent of its shots (24-of-59), including 11 three-pointers (11-of-32). The Tigers outrebounded the Bulldogs 46 to 32 in the game (25 to 16 in the first half) and held TLU to 33 percent shooting from the field (21-of-63).
 
The Tigers started slow, falling behind 16-5 in the first quarter thanks in part to five turnovers, before ending the stanza on an 8-0 run, including a pair of three-pointers by Cloud.
 
A layup by Bayston pulled CC within one at 16-15 with 9:14 left in the first half and Cloud tied it up at 18 a minute later with another long ball. Trailing 23-18 at 7:01, the Tigers charged back to take their first lead at 26-23 on a Bayston triple. TLU scored seven of the last nine points of the half to go to the locker room up 30-28. Neither team scored in the final 3:40 of the stanza.
 
Cloud gave the Tigers the lead for good at 31-30 with a three pointer just 29 ticks into the second half. CC boosted its advantage to 12 as Bayston chipped in nine points, including a three pointer, to make it 44-32 for the home side, but Texas Lutheran cut the margin to single digits at 57-48 with 36 seconds to go in the third quarter care of a pair of Juliana Tapia free throws.
 
A Braley layup accounted for the first score of the fourth quarter, putting CC up 11 at 59-48, but the Bulldogs took over from there, narrowing the gap to six at 64-58 on a three by Kailey Lacy.
 
Bayston boosted the Tiger lead back to six at 66-60 making the back end of a two-shot stint at the free throw line with 36 seconds left. TLU called timeout and scored two seconds later on a three-pointer by Jayla Santa Maria to make it a one-possession game.
 
Colorado College missed three free throws down the stretch, but Bayston buried one with five seconds remaining to put the game out of reach.
