Aggies end islanders' run
A&M-CC rallies in 2nd half, but A&M responds

COLLEGE STATION - The best season for the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's basketball team deserved nothing less than one of the most thrilling finishes a team can offer.

It just didn't go the Islanders' way.

Trailing by 12 to Texas A&M and reeling at the start of the second half, A&M-Corpus Christi went on a 16-0 run to take its first lead of the game. But while the Islanders had leads as large as seven points, the Aggies staged a late rally of their own.

Outscoring A&M-Corpus Christi 15-3 in the final three minutes, 33 seconds of the game, the Aggies were the ones who pulled out the WNIT second-round game with a 65-59 victory Monday night at Reed Arena

What was the crowd size? Man if the game could have been in Corpus Christi the Islanders would have pulled it out.

it was a great recruiting tool for the campus. hopefully it will give them a little more spotlight on their program.

Pirate44 I checked the Aggies web site and the big time college town only had a count of 3,082 at the game!! That sure does pail when compared to our 4, 500 at the game Friday and probably would have been a lot more Monday. WNIT pulled a bonehead by not having the game in Corpus Christi from a monetary standpoint. What a goof! Mr. Goddard of the Corpus Christi Caller/Times Sports was right on this time!
