N’dea Jones led the Aggies (9-2) with a career-high 15 points, and added 18 rebounds—which ties for the 10th-most in a single game in Texas A&M history. Jones became the first player in Texas A&M history to have three consecutive games of at least 17 rebounds.
Ciera Johnson and Kayla Wells each added 14 points. Shambria Washington added in a career-high 13, and Aahliyah Jackson, who made her first career start, had a career-high 7.
The Aggies (9-2) outscored the Lady Panthers 22-4 in the fourth quarter to close out the game. Prairie View A&M (4-6) led 37-29 at halftime, and the Aggies finally took the lead for good with a Jones layup with six minutes to play.
Texas A&M’s leading scorer, Chennedy Carter, did not play in tonight’s game as a precautionary measure. She is expected to be available for the Aggies’ next game, December 29 against UTRGV.
