"Courtside" with Sonya Sundberg

Well if you weren’t at Saturday’s game, you missed a good one. We played Texas A&M Kingsville, whom we lost to a couple weeks ago down in Kingsville, and we were definitely ready for some revenge.

We started the game off strong and Kingsville just couldn’t keep up. We went into halftime up by 34 points and we finished the game with every person on the team scoring.

It was a very special night for us as our lone senior, JoAnne Jones, played her final game in Wisdom Gym. She is such a huge aspect to this team and we are definitely going to miss her next year. But, the season isn’t over for her at all!

With the win Saturday, we clenched a spot in the Lone Star Conference Tournament and as it looks right now, we will be playing Southeastern Oklahoma for our first game. This is the only team in our cross-over games that we fell to, so we will be very happy to get a second chance at them. But we will take it game by game and right now we have a week off before playing our final conference game against Angelo State. We are going to work hard this week and really focus on getting better.

Thanks for all the support thus far this season and we hope you continue to follow us on the road for the rest of the season!

"Courtside" with Sonya Sundberg


Heading to Midwestern!!! We are exactly halfway through conference with two losses on our hands, falling to West Texas A&M and Texas A&M Kingsville. Both were close games, that we just couldn’t pull out at the end. It has really been a learning experience because there were so many things in both of those games that could have gone differently. But no reason to dwell, we just have to get ‘em back in our home territory!

On Wednesday we faced MSU at home. We started the game off strong and jumped to a 10-2 lead in the first few minutes of the game. From there, our lead eventually turned into about 20 going in to halftime. We didn’t come out quite as strong as we should have and they ended up making a little run on us, but we quickly got back on track and ended with the win. As part of rivalry week, we head t o Wichita Falls to play them again tomorrow. We all know that this game is going to be totally different at their place and therefore have to come out even stronger and work even harder than before.

After Midwestern we head to Eastern New Mexico on Wednesday where we will be faced with another very tough challenge! It is time to put our road games to the test!!
