No. 8 Texas A&M’s Adams leads Aggies to 68-44 win over Iowa State

Aggies beat Cyclones 68-44

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Danielle Adams scored 20 points to lead No. 8 Texas A&M to an easy 68-44 win over Iowa State on Wednesday night.

The victory gives the Aggies a seven-game winning streak heading into Sunday’s game at No. 13 Oklahoma.

Texas A&M (14-1, 2-0 Big 12) led by 14 at halftime and went on a 7-0 run, that included four points from Adams, to open the second half and push the lead to 39-18.

The Cyclones (12-3, 0-2) didn’t have an answer for Adams, the preseason Big 12 newcomer of the year and last year’s junior college player of the year at Jefferson College. The 6-foot-1 center shot from inside and out, blocked shots, and even made a smooth baseline drive to shake a defender and finish with a layup.

Iowa State, which was foiled by poor shooting, was led by Alison Lacey’s 19 points.
