Former Lady Raider Gerlich Comes Back to Face Lady Raiders as UTA Coach

Lady Raider Legend Krista Gerlich returned to Lubbock to face the Lady Raiders for the first time as a head coach on Thursday.  But the UT Arlington coach’s team was stymied by her alma mater 79-60.  Gerlich was a key part of the Lady Raiders 1993 National Championship win over Ohio State.  The Lady Raiders got out to a 28-5 first quarter lead that they rarely religuished.  Jada Terry had her fifth career double-double and Recee Caldwell added a game high 20 points on 4 for 7 from behind the arc in the win.  The Lady Raider finish non-conference play with a record of 8-3.  They will open up Big 12 play on December 29th in Austin against Texas.
