A&M WOMEN WIN FIRST EXHIBITION

Toccara Williams scored 17 points as Texas A&M beat Abyhoj of Denmark, 72-53, in exhibition women’s basketball at Reed Arena.

A&M junior Meg Banahan and senior Celeria Washington each tallied a double-double during the contest. Banahan recorded 12 points and 13 rebounds, while Washington scored 11 points and a team-high 14 rebounds.

"Meg just came in and played an all around game," A&M head coach Peggie Gillom said. "She was one our bright spots. She played

great defense and offense and was one our sparks. She was playing like she was last year before she got hurt."

Banahan suffered a season-ending knee injury in midseason last year.

The Aggies held Abyhoj scoreless for the first nine minutes of the game by sprinting to a 14-0 start.

Banahan paced the Aggies in the opening half with eight points and nine rebounds.

"I’m glad we won the game," Gillom said. "With this being an exhibition game I got to see things that we need to work on and I saw some bright spots. Some of the things we need to work on are rebounding and I didn’t think we got to the free throw line enough. We can’t put the other team on the line 32 times and expect to win."
