Bobcats, minus Taylor, edged out by Red Wolves

Texas State wasn’t prepared to begin conference play 0-2. It also wasn’t prepared to lose its starting point guard.

Kennedy Taylor suffered an injury after Thursday’s loss to Little Rock that ruled her out of Saturday’s contest against Arkansas State. Taylor started in all 12 games she played in, leading the team with 33.5 minutes per game and a 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Head coach Zenarae Antoine inserted senior guard Bailey Holle in Taylor’s place in the starting lineup, but the Bobcats couldn’t overcome the lack of playmaking. The team dished out 14 assists and committing 19 turnovers while falling to the Red Wolves (4-9, 1-1 Sun Belt), 56-53.
