In an exciting match that took place on February 27, 2025, the Texas A&M women’s basketball team faced off against the Grand Canyon Lopes in a game that had plenty of ups and downs. The Lady Mavericks tried their hardest but ultimately fell to the Lopes, wrapping up the contest with a final score of 72-59.
A Tale of Two Halves
The game started off promising for Texas A&M, who held a narrow lead over Grand Canyon, finishing the first quarter 14-13. The Lady Mavs scored mostly within the paint, showcasing their shooting skills early on. However, as the game progressed, the tides began to turn. Despite being only down by four points at halftime, their shooting from beyond the arc was a bit of a struggle, finishing the first half 0-for-8 from three-point range.
The real defining moment of the match came in the third quarter when Grand Canyon exploded with offensive firepower. They scored a staggering 34 points compared to UTA’s relatively modest 17. This surge gave the Lopes a significant 21-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter, a cushion they would manage to hold onto for the win.

Nya Threatt had a noteworthy performance too, finishing with 8 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals.
Turnovers and Missed Opportunities
One area where the Lady Mavericks struggled mightily was in turnovers.
