A&M limps into game with ISIi

Women’s basketball team’s losing streak extends to eightgm'
By Brian Ruff
T/je Battalion
When the Texas A&M women’s
basketball team takes on No. 9 Iowa
State Saturday in Ames, Iowa, two
scenarios could occur. One: The Ag
gies, losers of their last eight and 11
out of 12, could play like the team
did more than a month ago, when
the A&M squad knocked off the No.
25 team in the country. Or Two: the
Aggies could play like they did ear
lier this week, when the team went
eight minutes into the opening half
without a field goal, and suffer their
13th loss in Big 12 play.
The Aggies (12-13, 2-12) are
coming off a 60-55 loss to the
Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan
Tuesday. The Aggies got off to a
slow start and trailed the Wildcats
18-1 almost halfway into the first
half, before the Aggies hit a field
goal. The Aggies battled back into
position to take the lead, but the
Wildcats hit a clutch free throw to
secure the win.
“We fought back, but it was a
little to late,” said A&M women’s
basketball coach Peggie Gillom af
ter Tuesday night’s loss to Kansas
State. “I praised them for fighting
back.”
Senior forward Jaynetta Saun
ders said she hopes to lead the Ag
gies to victory and end the losing
streak. Saunders is second in the Big
12 in scoring with a 22.4 point-per-
game average.
Freshman point guard Toccara
Williams is second in the confer
ence in assists, with an average of
7.04 per game. Williams has also set
Aggie freshman season records for
assists and steals this season.
