Box Score AUSTIN, Texas - Alina Voronenko's career-high 15 points complemented 16-point outings from Satoria Bell and Tasha Cannon, and led Newman to a 64-52 win over St. Edward's Saturday afternoon at the Recreation and Convocation Center in Austin, Texas.

Newman (16-2, 5-0 Heartland) jumped out to an early 12-6 lead less than five mintues into the contest, only to watch St. Edward's (4-15, 1-4 Heartland) score four-straight points to cut its deficit to 12-10 at the 14-minute mark. The Hilltoppers continued to whittle away at Newman's lead, and eventually took a 21-20 lead for one possession. The Jets responded by holding SEU scoreless for the next six minutes, surrendering only a three-point basket by Brittany Ward, and built a 28-24 lead they took into the halftime locker room.

Three minutes later, the Hilltoppers had pulled back to within one, and remained within three points of the Jets until Anna Sonka drained a trey with 13:00 to play, and sparked a 7-0 Newman run over the next five minutes that pushed the Jets to a 49-38 lead with 8:02 to play. Newman never led by less than seven from that point forward, and cruised to the 12-point, 64-52 win.
