The Cameron women’s basketball team drops their second straight Lone Star Conference game, losing to Texas Woman’s 85-63 Saturday afternoon inside the Kitty Magee Arena.

Wilson led the CU with seven rebounds, Leslie pulled in five, Allensworth snagged four, King, Lovings, Miller collected three, Johnson and Lay grabbed two, and Gillespie and Heidebrecht added one.
TWU would dominate the game from tip to buzzer as CU’s woes early on continued to stifle them. The Pioneers opened the game with an 11-0 run. The Aggies would shoot 3-for-14 in the frame. They scored all eight points in the quarter from 5:32 to 4:27. Miller would knock down a three at the 5:32 mark of the quarter to get Cameron on the board, King hit a jumper at 5:17, and Heidebrecht made a three at 4:27.
The second quarter was not much better for the Black-and-Gold, shooting 4-for-13 from the floor, and 2-of-5 from deep, while Texas Woman’s made 10-of-19 shots, extending their lead to 20 points at the intermission, as they would lead 42-22.
The Aggies would knock down twice as many shots as the first, shooting 42.9 percent in the second half and 47.1 from deep, making eight threes after the half. Cameron could not improve the scoreboard in the second half, but they were able to hang tight with TWU, only getting outscored by two, 43-41.
Cameron will take the week off before they host St. Mary’s next Saturday inside the Aggie Gym at 1:00 pm.
