Aggie women cruise past ULM, 105-57

Danielle Adams scored 32 points and No. 7 Texas A&M wrapped up its non-conference schedule with its sixth straight win, 105-57 over ULM on Tuesday night.

The Aggies had a 17-point halftime lead, but ULM cut it to 52-40 after sinking a pair of 3-pointers early in the second half. Texas A&M (12-1) answered with a 22-2 run that was helped by five turnovers by the Warhawks to extend its lead to 74-42 with about 13 minutes remaining.

Adams had 10 points in that span and finished with seven rebounds and two assists.

ULM (8-7) was led by Kassie Courtney who had 18 points.

Tyra White added a career-high 22 points for the Aggies as they finished with a season-high in points, besting the 100 points they scored in a win over Purdue.

It was the 22nd straight game with double figures for Adams and Texas A&M’s 43rd straight non-conference home win. ULM is the ninth opponent this season the Aggies have beaten by at least 25 points.

The Texas A&M defense hurried and harassed ULM into 36 turnovers, a season high, and the Aggies scored 51 points off those mistakes.

A&M made its first five shots and jumped out to a 12-1 lead and were up 27-12 before Louisiana-Monroe went on a 9-2 run to cut the lead to 29-21 about midway through the first half.

Texas A&M’s Sydney Colson was injured when she collided with a fellow player. She did not return to the game, but was on the bench in the second half.

A&M got back on track after Colson left and answered ULM’s run with a 17-4 spurt to extend the lead to 47-25 about three minutes before halftime.

The Aggies led 51-34 at halftime.

Texas A&M forced 12 of Louisiana-Monroe’s 36 turnovers in the first few minutes of the game and scored 18 of its first 29 points off those miscues.
