ODESSA, Texas – Maighan Hedge notched another 20-plus point outing and Stephanie Peterson recorded her second collegiate double-double as the Aggie women took down UT Permian Basin 65-56 on Tuesday.

Cameron's junior guard, Hedge led the Aggies with 25 points in a makeup game against the Falcons in Odessa.

After being away from action for over three weeks, the Aggies came out strong in the first quarter, opening the game going 4-5 from the field.

Cameron bounced back with a big third quarter, out-scoring the Falcons 24-10 in the frame. The Aggies were a perfect 7-7 from the foul line in the period and made a trio of shots from long range that helped them take the led and extend it to 54-45 heading into the final quarter.
