LAWTON -- The Cameron women's basketball team will don their pink as they host the sixth ranked West Texas A&M Lady Buffs on Saturday for their annual cancer awareness game. To help support cause, pink shirt will be sold in the Aggie Gym lobby for $5 with the money going to the Play4Kay Foundation. If the Aggies take down WT, they will take a half game lead in the Lone Star Conference standings.

#6 West Texas A&M (19-2; 10-1 LSC): Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. | Live Video | Live Stats | Game Notes

First Tip: With a win over Eastern New Mexico on Wednesday, the Aggies reached 10 Lone Star Conference wins for the first time in two years. Their 68-63 win over the Zias and a Midwestern loss to #6 West Texas A&M on Wednesday moved Cameron into the second spot in the LSC standings, trailing only WT, who come into Lawton on Saturday with a half game lead over CU for the top spot in the league.
 
On January 10, the Aggies went down to Canyon and lost 87-69. Jazzmine Robinson had 23 points and Brandi Leal had 15 for CU, but the Lady Buffs had five players in double-figures and shot over 61 percent from the field in the win. That loss sparked a five game win streak that shot the Aggies up the LSC standings. However, Cameron has lost their last seven meetings against WT.
 
About West Texas A&M: The Lady Buffs enter the game with the Ags ranked No. 6 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and on a 10 game win streak. Their last win was a 59-55 thriller over #22 Midwestern State on Wednesday.
 
As a team, WT leads the LSC and is 8th in the country in scoring with 78.9 points per game, and hold their opponents to just 62.9. They are also the best shooting team in Division II, hitting on 48.5 percent of their shot attempts. The Lady Buffs are second in the LSC in three point shooting with 6.5 per game and a percentage of .370. They are first in the league in both turnover margin and assist/turnover ratio, and lead the league with 17.67 assists and 11 steals per contest.
 
Leading West Texas A&M is Chontiqua White, who is second in the conference in scoring and rebounding at 17.1 and 8.8, and leads the league with a .526 shooting percentage. Also averaging in double figures is Sasha Watson, who averages 12.7 points per game and is second in the league with four assists per game, and leads the league with 2.9 steals per game. 
 
Offensive Player of the Week
: Jazzmine Robinson earned her third LSC Offensive Player of the Week honor this week, after averaging 18.7 points in three games last week. Robinson's 18.4 points per game leads the conference and her 8.1 boards is fourth in the LSC. She is also shooting over 45 percent from the field and has seven double-doubles on the season. In the team's four game win streak, Robinson has scored 20 plus points three times and averaged 7.25 rebounds.
 
In the Record Books: In CU's win over ENMU, Brandi Leal broke the Cameron program record for three pointers in a season. The record, set by Chelsea Stamp last season, was 72 and Leal needed three going into the game and she hit five. Leal's 75 three pointers (3.6) per game is tops in the LSC and top-5 in the nation. This season, she has recorded five or more three pointers in five different games and six in three different games
 
Coming Up: Following the home contest against the Lady Buffs, the Aggies will hit the road again as they head to Texas A&M-Kingsville on Feb. 18 to take on the Javelinas.
