ATHENS, Ga.- Texas A&M’s Chennedy Carter scored a season-high 31 points and N’dea Jones added 21 rebounds—tied for the second-most in school history—as the Aggies beat Georgia 76-66 in a women’s basketball game at Stegeman Coliseum.
The Aggies (14-4, 3-2 SEC) led 36-28 at halftime, but Georgia rallied to tie the game at 55 with eight minutes to play. The Aggies scored on each of their next five possessions to take control of the game with a 12-2 run.
Jones, playing in front of around 40 friends and family, had a career-high 21 rebounds, tying for the most rebounds in a conference game in Texas A&M history. Jones is the first player in Texas A&M history with two 20+ rebound games in the same season, and owns the second and fourth-best single-game rebounding efforts in school history.
Carter’s 31 points represent her first 30+ point game of the season, and the eighth of her career. Shambria Washington added a career-high 15, Kayla Wells chipped in another 15 and Ciera Johnson had her sixth double double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
The Aggies return to action on Thursday, January 24 at Auburn, with tip set for 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network. Texas A&M’s next home game is Sunday, January 27 against No. 16 Kentucky.
