COLLEGE
STATION, Texas—The UALR women's basketball team suffered
the team's first loss of the season losing 87-41 at No. 8 Texas A&M
Tuesday. The Trojans shot 34.9 percent
from the field compared to the Aggies 50.7 percent.
“I
thought A&M played a great basketball game,” said head coach Joe Foley. “That kind of quickness and pressure in the
inside makes a good ball team. We don't
see that kind of quickness in our conference.
We were fortunate to play A&M tonight, and this can help us in the
future. We are missing two good guards
that we had when we beat Georgia Tech. A
game like this will show you what you got to work on.”
