LAWTON – Cameron women's basketball looks to get back on track this week with their final two road games of the regular season starting at West Texas A&M on Tuesday. 
 
Just two away games remain on the Aggies 2021-22 schedule before wrapping up the regular season at home for three more games in the Aggie Gym. Their first road trip this week is to Canyon, Texas to face the always tough Lady Buffs, who currently sit in front of them in the Lone Star Conference standings. 
 
STARTING 5
1. The Aggies and Lady Buffs were scheduled to play a non-conference game on Feb. 3, but winter weather in the region halted the trip by the visiting team; Tuesday's battle will count towards the league standings.
2. After last week's 1-2 record, Cameron went from leading the conference standings to being ranked fifth with an 8-3 record in league play behind Texas Woman's, Texas A&M-Commerce, WT, and Texas A&M-Kingsville.
3. CU guard Maighan Hedge has averaged 18.3 points over her four career games against WT with the team going 2-2 over that span; Hedge has led CU in scoring 16 times this season and has been over 10 points in all 21 games and over 20 points 13 times. 
4. West Texas A&M has won four straight including a 55-48 win over No. 13/15 Lubbock Christian less than a week ago.
5. Transfers Zamorye Roberts and Alivia Lewis lead the Lady Buffs with Roberts averaging 12.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.2 steals and Lewis averaging 8.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game.
 
ABOUT THE AGGIES

Still one of the top scoring teams in the nation, the Aggies are averaging over 77 points per outing. They are shooting 41 percent from the field and a conference best 34.7 percent from three, making 10.4 per game, which leads all of Division II.
