Despite four players in double figures, Utah Tech women's basketball was done in by a cold-shooting third quarter as the Trailblazers were felled at Stephen F. Austin, 76-67, on Thursday night inside the William R. Johnson Coliseum.

How it happened 
Utah Tech (8-8/2-3 WAC) trailed 14-9 in the early going, but a Calyn Dallas transition steal sparked a 7-2 spurt that pulled the Blazers even at 16-16. 
 
Maddie Warren cashed the steal in with a fast break lay-in, while Breaunna Gillen poured in four points around a Maggie McCord 3-pointer.
 
SFA (10-6/4-1 WAC) closed the first quarter scoring with a perimeter jumper, but the Trailblazers would turn the tables on the Lady Jacks in the second by hitting on 3-of-5 from downtown to open the second stanza en route to a 27-23 lead with 6:22 to go in the first half.
 
Warren bookended the rally with a pair of 3-pointers, while Dallas managed to give Utah Tech its first lead of the night with a 3-ball from the left wing at the eight-minute mark of the period.
 
However Utah Tech was not able to build upon its two-possession advantage, and SFA eventually wrestled the lead away and took a 34-33 into the locker room. 
 
SFA ambushed the Trailblazers out of the halftime break, outscoring Utah Tech 11-3 to open up a 45-36 lead at the 6:09 mark of the third quarter.
 
Gillen stopped the rally, albeit briefly, with a mid-range jumper, but the Lady Jacks would go on to score 12 of the final 16 points of the frame to take a commanding 57-42 cushion into the fourth period.
 
Trailing 69-47 with a little over six minutes remaining, Utah Tech rattled off a 10-0 run to trim the Lady Jack lead to 12 at 69-57 with 3:29 left after a Gillen lay-in.
 
But the deficit proved to be too much to overcome as the Blazers would suffer their third WAC loss of the season.
 
Numbers to know
Macie Warren and Gillen co-led the Trailblazers with 16 points apiece. Macie Warren wound up with her fourth double-double of the year as she pulled down a co-team high 10 rebounds.
 
Meanwhile Gillen offset a 4-of-13 shooting night by going 8-of-8 at the foul line. Gillen also just missed her second double-double of the year as she finished with nine boards to go with three assists.
 
Maddie Warren wound up with 15 points, and Dallas tallied 14 points along with a career-high three steals. 
 
Utah Tech was held to a season-low 29.6 percent (21-of-71) from the floor, which included a 25.6 percent (10-of-39) clip from beyond the arc. However the Blazers did shoot 71.4 percent (15-of-21) at the charity stripe.
 
The Trailblazers were outrebounded by SFA by a 45-44 count, though Utah Tech held a 14-7 edge on the offensive glass. Utah Tech also turned the ball over a season-low six time, but was only credited with six assists on its 21 made field goals.
 
Kurtsyn Harden paced four Lady Jacks in double figures with 15 points. SFA hit 28-of-62 (.452) from the floor, which included an 8-of-25 (.320) effort from the perimeter.
