"We are excited about our highest road score of the season," said TWU head coach Lisa Bowerman.  "It will help us improve our RQS.  We had lot of great performances throughout the meet.  Unfortunately, we still had to count a few mistakes, but we are looking forward to getting in the gym this week to solidify the final few spots in our line-ups.  We will be ready to head into the conference championships with confidence."
 
The Pioneers will return to Denton to host the 2015 Midwest Independent Conference (MIC) Championships next Saturday, Mar. 21, at 4:00 p.m.  TWU will welcome Centenary, Illinois State, Lindenwood, Southeast Missouri State and UIC to Kitty Magee Arena for the annual six-team postseason meet.
