No. 14 Women's Basketball Earns 55-48 Win Over Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Courtney Walker scored 17 points to lead No. 14 Texas A&M over Missouri 55-48 on Thursday.

The teams combined for just 12 points through the first six minutes of the game. Texas A&M (18-5, 6-3 SEC) went on an 8-2 run - with six from Walker - and led 28-21 at the break.

Missouri trimmed the deficit to three with 2:28 left on Juanita Robinson's jumper as the Aggies went over six minutes without a bucket. But Walker responded with a jumper, and Jordan Jones followed with a layup to push the lead back to seven with 1:15 left.

Walker was 8 of 18 from the floor and the Aggies were 0 of 3 from beyond the arc. Jones finished with 10 points.

Missouri (12-11, 2-8 SEC) was led by Jordan Frericks with 15 points and 16 rebounds. Maddie Stock had 12 points and Morgan Eye added 11.

Texas A&M returns to action on Sunday, February 8 at 2 p.m. at No. 17 Mississippi State, a game televised by SEC Network. The Aggies return home on Feb. 12 to host Arkansas at 8 p.m. on 12th Man Appreciation Night.
