s go cold in finals
Even with the blocks, we would
just turn around and put it right
back into her.”
Despite 15 Charlotte
turnovers in the first half, the
teams were tied 22-22.
The game stayed close
throughout the second half as
neither team led by more than six
points. Charlotte held the lead for
most of the half and the two
teams traded the lead four times.
The Aggies took a 41 -40 lead
with 5:43 remaining when soph-
omore forward Alaina Johnson
made a layup from a pass by
senior guard LaToya Rose.
After Johnson’s layup,
Charlotte held A&M scoreless
for the next minute of play and
the Aggies never challenged
the lead again.
Junior forward Meg Banahan
hit a 3-pointer with 1 1 seconds
left to make it a three-point
game, but Charlotte’s Monica
League’s free throw put the
game out of reach.
The Aggies shot just 63.2
percent from the free-throw line,
including only 60 percent in the
second half.
“This is a bad loss for us,”
Gillom said. “This is a loss that
we are going to have to learn
from. Charlotte was the better
team tonight, but we didn’t play
up to par.”

Benson capped off the drive
one play later, when he scored
from five-yards out, giving
Texas the eventual game-win

The Aggies had to punt on

the Longhorns to punt on the
next drive, giving A&M another
shot at tying the game.
Farris completed an eight-
yard pass to Porter on first down,
but two plays later, Rawls’
brought down the deciding inter
ception that ended the Aggies’
upset hopes.
“I am pleased we are going to
a bowl,” Slocum said. “I look
around the country and see a lot
of big-time programs that aren’t
going anywhere.”
The No. 3 Longhorns will take
on the No. 9 Colorado Buffaloes
in the Big 12 Championship
game Saturday in Dallas.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Leatherman gives
Aggies 77-74 win

ball team rallied behind senior

Leatherman’s three-pointer
came following Lamar’s Tyler
Hackstadfs three-point shot

season, while the Cardinals fell
to 0-2.
