BAYLOR (JAN. 31) Earnesia Williams scored 13 points and No. 19 Texas got a muchneeded boost in the Big 12 with a win over No. 14 Baylor on Sunday. Texas (14-6, 3-3) led by 21 midway through the second half before Baylor rallied to get within seven with under 3 minutes to play. Brittainey Raven chipped in 12 points and Ashleigh Fontenette scored 11 for the Longhorns. Brittney Griner scored 21 points to lead Baylor (15-5, 2-4) but got little help offensively from her teammates as Baylor shot just 32 percent. Texas handled the 6-foot-8 freshman post player much of the game by rotating their own 6-4 forwards, Ashley Gayle and Cokie Reed, to defend her. Reed and Gayle scored eight points together and both fouled out, but their work inside and Texas zone defense helped deny entry passes to Griner. RPI RELEASED The fourth edition of the NCAA RPI was released Feb. 1 and Texas is one of seven Big 12 teams in the Top 25 at No. 14. The Big 12 is the only league with seven teams in the Top 30 and is also ranked fi rst in RPI by both CBN and Jeff Sagarin for the ninth-consecutive week. UT s schedule is ranked No. 9 in the CBN Strength of Schedule ratings, the third-highest of any league opponent (Oklahoma - No. 2, Texas A&M - No. 6).

DUO SEEING DOUBLE... TWICE For the second time this season, a pair of UT players recorded double-doubles in the same game. Sophomore Ashleigh Fontenette recorded the fi rst double-double of her collegiate career in UT s double-overtime victory at Texas Tech (Jan. 16) with 16 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, and junior Kathleen Nash notched her second of the season with 15 points and a team-high 11 rebounds.

Gayle leads UT with four double-doubles through 20 games. BLOCK PARTY Sophomore post Ashley Gayle became the fastest player in UT history to crack into the school s all-time top 10 career blocks record. Her 122 career blocks rank eighth in school history, and her 62 blocks this season improves her to second on UT s sophomore top 10 list. She currently ranks second in the Big 12 and ninth nationally with 3.2 bpg (Feb. 1 standings). STREAKIN Senior guard Brittainey Raven concluded her second 10+ made free throw streak of the season when she missed her first attempt against Texas Southern (Dec. 20). Raven s 14-straight made free throws began against Rutgers (Nov. 28) and spanned four games against Oral Roberts (2-of-2), Tennessee (4-of-4) and Ole Miss (5-of-5). Earlier in the season, Raven strung together 16-consecutive free throws in a three-game span. Through 19 games, Raven is hitting 77.4 percent (72-of-93) from the line, and has nearly twice as many attempts as leading free-throw shooter Kathleen Nash (40-of-48,.833 FT). Additionally, Raven has scored in double figures 24 of her last 25 games dating back to March 4, POWER IN THE POST POSITION With a pair of 6-4 posts in sophomore Ashley Gayle and freshman Cokie Reed, UT s frontcourt is proving to be a serious threat to opponents offensive attacks.

Instead, she s climbing Texas all-time leading scorer chart after becoming the 33rd player in school history to surpass the 1,000-point mark last season. Raven currently ranks 15th with 1,530 career points.

AG AND AT... With a pair of student-athletes on the roster sharing the same name, it was only a matter of time before the Longhorns bestowed various nicknames among the sophomores that share the same moniker. During their freshmen campaigns, the Horns dubbed Ashley Gayle A.G., while teammate Ashleigh Fontenette was tabbed A.T. because of the many T s that are present in her surname.... SISTER, SISTER A.G. and A.T. aren t the only players on the roster with nicknames. To tell sisters Kristen and Kathleen Nash apart, the Horns refer to senior post Kristen as Nash and junior guard Kathleen as Kat. Although many mistake the two for twins, they were actually born 22 months apart. NO SOPHOMORE SLUMP HERE As a sophomore last season, guard Kathleen Nash led UT in rebounding with 6.6 rpg and was the second-leading scorer with ppg. She posted a team-leading 23 double-figure scoring efforts, including four double-doubles, and connected on a team-leading 50 3-pointers. Nash was named 2009 All-Big 12 Honorable Mention for her sophomore campaign efforts. TALES FROM SUMMER BREAK In between pick-up games on campus, a few Horns found time to work a few adventures into their summer breaks. Junior guard Kathleen Nash studied business abroad in Paris for six weeks, while sophomore guard Ashleigh Fontenette spent a month shadowing an Austin-area attorney in an effort to pursue her dream of being a lawyer. Senior post Kristen Nash completed a summer-long internship with News 8 Sports in Austin.

7 WILLIAMS BACK FOR MORE Redshirt senior Earnesia Williams is back for a fi fth year, even after going through last year s senior ceremony before the team s fi nal home game of the season against Oklahoma. She even received a framed jersey, despite still having an extra year of eligibility from the medical redshirt she received after a season-ending knee injury during her freshman season in When the Longhorns season concluded after their second-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament under coach Gail Goestenkors, Williams decided she wasn t ready to leave the Forty Acres. COACH S KID To say sophomore Yvonne Anderson knows a little bit about basketball would be an understatement. She is the daughter of Missouri men s basketball coach Mike Anderson (2006-present). Not only did she grow up surrounded by college basketball, Anderson was even born during March Madness 1990, the same year her father was an assistant head coach at Arkansas and on a run to the Final Four. Yvonne was born on March 8, YEAR THREE AT TEXAS FOR COACH G The sixth all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I women s basketball history, Gail Goestenkors begins her third season at Texas and sports a (.655) mark with the Horns.
