STEPHENVILLE, Texas -- A big third quarter for the Cameron women and a career high 30 point effort from Dayla Threatt gave the Aggies a big 83-71 win on Saturday evening at Tarleton State. Cameron's win is the sixth in a row over the TexAnns and the Ags first Lone Star Conference victory. 

The Aggies trailed as many as ten points but turned the corner in the middle stages of the contest and outscored TSU 43-26 in the second and third quarters.

Box Score

Threatt's 30 points was a season high for the Ags and the first time since Nov. 29, 2014 that a Cameron player hit 30 points; Jazzmine Robinson was last to accomplish this feat with 31 points against Truman State. 

"Dayla had a great game tonight," said head coach Tom Webb. "Her teammates got her the ball in good places where she could score. The key was understanding that she had a hot hand. It definitely goes to Dayla, but also the whole team and the understanding that it can be a different kid every night, and it just happened to be Dayla's night."

In only her third game for Cameron, Savanna James came off the bench to score 13 points with four rebounds in only eight minutes of action as CU second leading scorer.   Charron Montgomery also hit double-figures with 11 points and three assists.  

As a team CU was one short of 50 rebounds, Markita Zeigler didn't score any points but had a team high nine boards.  Threatt had eight and Cristina Sorinao added seven.  The Aggies would out-rebound Tarleton State by three. 

Cameron shot 29-for-66 from the field and went 5-for-15 at the arc, Tarleton State shot 25-for-73 and 6-for-16 from downtown.  

The Aggies opened the second half trailing Tarleton State 41-36 but only allowed the TexAnns to score 11 points to take the lead for good with a DJ Vallier jumper at the 6:10 marker.  Cameron shot 58.8% in the third period and out-rebounded TSU 15-to-9; the TexAnns would go 25% from their end of the court.  

Cameron continued to pull away in the fourth quarter and a layup by Brittany Hill with 7:02 left gave the Ags a 70-55 lead.  However, Tarleton State closed on the Aggies and got within five points by the 4:26 marker, but it would be the closest the TexAnns would get.

Bailey Wippf led Tarleton with 18 points and Ikpeaku Iwobi had a double-double with 13 points and a game high 10 rebounds. 

With the win the Aggies will move to 7-4 overall and 1-1 in the LSC; Tarleton State will fall to 6-6 and 0-2 in league action.  

Cameron will return action on the road at noon on Thursday to face Eastern New Mexico.
