LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Stanecia Graham scored a season-high 19 points and had 10 rebounds as Texas Tech beat Sam Houston State 84-51 Tuesday.

Keisha Walker added a season-high 18 points for the Lady Raiders. The game was tied at 41 early in the second half. But the Lady Raiders outscored the Bearkats 39-6 over the next 12 minutes.

Texas Tech (8-0) led by as many as 25 points.

Sam Houston (1-6) shot 44 percent in the first half, but just 11 percent after the break when the Bearkats made only four baskets.

Four Texas Tech players scored in double figures. Jordan Murphree had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Lydia Gonzales scored 12 points and had 10 rebounds to lead Sam Houston. Deltrice Daniel had 10 points.

Texas Tech is off to it's best start since 2003, when it won 15 straight to open the season.

The Lady Raiders played without forward Dominic Seals in the first half, when she sat on the bench in street clothes and nursed a sore foot. But with Tech trailing, Seals left the bench before halftime to suit-up, and she was in the line-up when Tech began the second half.

Seals, the team's second-leading scorer on the season, had two points and one rebound in nine minutes.
