Texas Tech Lady Raider guard Raquel Christian has been suspended indefinitely by coach Kristy Curry, according to a statement released Friday.
The press release revealed no reasons or details behind the suspension, and sports information director Tammi Hoffman said none of the coaches would comment on the matter at any time.
In 23 games this season, the 5 foot 6 inch tall sophomore guard shot a team-high 39.7 percent from behind the 3-point line, well above the team average of 27.3 percent, last in the Big 12 Conference.
She averaged 4.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game and scored in double digits three times during non-conference play, with a season-high 15 points in a 90-55 win against Alcorn State Nov. 24.
Christian came off the bench to average 16.5 minutes per game, but only played about 12 minutes per game since the Big 12 Conference schedule began.
She played only nine minutes in her last three games against Texas A&M, Iowa State and Baylor, and she did not play at all in a 58-56 loss to No. 15 Oklahoma State Thursday at the United Spirit Arena.
As a freshman in 2006-07, Christian averaged 4.4 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.
