ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (November 26, 2016) - The Texas A&M International University Women's Basketball team concluded play in the Eckerd College Thanksgiving Classic on Saturday. TAMIU was dealt a 45-80 loss to the University of Tampa, moving to 0-7 overall.

Rosebrooke Hunt turned in a double-double despite the Dustdevil loss. Hunt picked up 11 rebounds and 10 points. Hunt's 11 boards were a game high.

The first half saw TAMIU pull within 14 before the halftime buzzer sounded. After falling behind early in the first, TAMIU put up 19 points in the second quarter. Hannah Beede led all Dustdevils through 20 minutes with nine points.

Tampa would push the lead in the second half, outscoring the Dustdevils 5-16, 12-22 in consecutive quarters.

Head Coach Jeff Caha commented after the game, "We are just not a very good basketball team right now. We refuse to apply what has been taught and repeated in practice and choose to do our own thing, which after 7-10 losses you would think a team might try something different. It's pretty simple from here, try to get better and compete or stay selfish and be apart of an 0-26 squad.

TAMIU returns to action on Monday, December 5. The Dustdevils travel to Edmond, Oklahoma to take on the University of Central Oklahoma. Tip-off is set for 5:30 pm CST.
