The Texas A&M women’s basketball team got one step closer to an SEC tournament crown with a 57-47 victory against Auburn Thursday in Little Rock.
The 5-seed Aggies (23-8, 11-6 SEC) showed the 13-seed Tigers (13-18, 3-14 SEC) a balanced offensive attack, with the No. 18 club getting double figures from Achiri Ade, Courtney Walker, Chelsea Jennings and Courtney Williams, who led the Aggies with 14 points.
Tra’Cee Carter led the way for the Tigers with 14 points and nine rebounds while Katie Frerking earned a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
With the victory, the Aggies are slated to play LSU at 2:15 p.m. Friday. The Tigers got the better of the Aggies Sunday in an 80-63 victory.
Williams said they will take a new approach against the Tigers.
“We have to keep our turnovers down,” Williams said. “We have to be poised and start out fast. We can’t just die down and be careless as the game goes on.”
