PEORIA, Ill.  --   Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage collected her first double-double of the season with a career-high 13 points and 17 rebounds to lead Wichita State to a 76-69 win Sunday afternoon at Bradley.

Vanessa Markert had 16 points for the Braves.

WSU out-shot the Braves, 46.7 percent (28-60) to 42.4 (25-59) form the field, and had seven treys to the BU's three. At the line BU made 16-of-24 free throws to the Shockers' 13-of-15. BU out-boarded WSU 39-31.

WSU's leading scorer Rangie Bessard missed the game with an injury she sustained in Friday's game at Illinois State, while starting point guard Keke Thompson missed her third-straight game with injury.

Tompkins scored the first two baskets of the third quarter to stretch the Shocker lead to 43-35 at 8:52, the largest for WSU at the time. BU's scoring drought and scoreless period ended at 8:33 with an Anneke Schlueter bucket after a 13-0 Shocker run, to put the score at 43-37. A minute later, WSU had its largest lead at 10 after a Stovall layup at 7:16.

WSU out-scored the Braves 21-18 in the third quarter, led by 10 points from Tompkins which included two three-pointers. The Shockers held a 59-53 lead at the end of the third.

In the fourth, the Shockers kept the Braves at a six-point distance until after the five minute mark when the Braves turned missed WSU shots into baskets the last at 4:14 that cut the lead to 67-65. That was as close as the Braves would get as WSU out-scored BU 11-4 over remainder of the game.

To open the game, Bradley jumped out to a 7-0 lead before WSU got on the board at the 7:44 mark with a jumper by Lozada-Cabbage. Later, she added two more buckets to cut BU's lead to 10-6 at the 5:04 mark.
