KINGSVILLE, Texas (November 22, 2016) - The Texas A&M International University Women's Basketball team played a getaway game against fellow A&M foe, TAMUK on Tuesday. The Dustdevils were dealt a 46-60 loss, moving to 0-5 overall. 

The Dustdevils and Javelinas played to an even 29-29 tie through the first 20 minutes of action of Tuesday. Hannah Beede led all scorers in the first half, dropping 11 points. Beede picked up two steals, two blocks, and seven rebounds. Jessica Alvarez and Joanna Perez added five points each. 

The Dustdevils were unable to tame the Javelinas in the second half. TAMUK took an 11 point lead in the third, stretching that lead to 14 before the final buzzer sounded. Rosebrooke Hunt picked up seven rebounds and five points in the final 20 minutes. Beede added six points and four rebounds, picking up her fourth double-double of the season. 

Head Coach Jeff Caha commented after the game, "We came out and played our most solid half of the year. We moved the ball, we guarded, dove on the floor, we had great effort. Unfortunately, we followed that with our worst half of the year. We became selfish and unwilling to sell out for a loose ball, make the extra effort to block out and get a rebound, and refused to help each other on offense. Until we figure out that we thrive on energy and teamwork and must have it to succeed, we will continue to drop games." 

The Dustdevils will head east for their next set of games. TAMIU will take part in the Eckerd College Tournament in St. Petersburg, Florida. Action begins on Friday, November 25. Tip-off is set for 2pm CST.
