The UIW women's winning streak came to a halt on Saturday, as the Cardinals suffered a 79-47 loss on the road against Texas Women's University.
Chloe Wallace battled hard for 19 points and 8 rebounds while Ifanunya Mora added 10 points and 8 rebounds – but the Pioneers had four players in double figures and took an early lead over Incarnate Word and never looked back.
UIW (4-8 overall) started out the year with seven losses before ripping off four consecutive victories before Saturday's game.
The Cardinals only turned over the ball 14 times, but TWU gave up just 5 turnovers the entire game.
Incarnate Word returns home to the McDermott Center on Wednesday night for a matchup against West Texas A&M University – in the first Lone Star Conference South Division game of the season. The games against LSC opponents will now count towards UIW's conference record – and UIW will be fighting to finish in the top four of the LSC South to earn a spot into the LSC Tournament in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, at the end of the regular season.
