ATHENS, Ga. – The Texas A&M women's basketball team dropped its regular-season finale to No. 25 Georgia, 67-58, on Sunday afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum.
Â
The Aggies (14-14, 4-12 SEC) were led by Aaliyah Patty who recorded the sixth double-double of her season with a team-high 15 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan Nixon poured in 10 points and dished out six assists.
Â
Both defenses ran the show for the first three minutes of the ball game, as the score was knotted up at 0-0 until Hoppie hit a two-point jumper at the 7:02 mark in the first. Patty helped keep the Aggies step-for-step with the Lady Bulldogs (20-8, 9-7 SEC), scoring seven points with four rebounds and a block. The first ended with UGA up, 14-13.
Â
Stout defense continued for both squads in the second. A total of 11 points were scored through the first 6:48 of the quarter. Patty ended the half with 11 of the Aggies' 24 first-half points. The Maroon & White faced a one-point disadvantage going into the new half, 25-24.
Â
The two teams were in lock step until the 3:27 mark in the third. The Lady Bulldogs strung together a 13-3 run that gave them a 48-37 lead heading into the fourth.
Â
The Aggies chopped away at the double-digit lead and cut the deficit to five, 57-52, after a Kayla Wells 3-pointer with 4:54 left in the final frame. However, Georgia would go on a run of its own, scoring eight straight and creating a cushion that A&M was unable to overcome. The Lady Bulldogs won, 67-58, and ended the Maroon & White's regular season.
