COLLEGE STATION- No. 24 Texas A&M picked up their second AP Top 15 win of the season, and extended its winning streak to five games, defeating No. 15 Kentucky 73-71 in a women’s basketball game at Reed Arena Sunday.
The Wildcats (17-3, 4-2 SEC) rallied back from down eight points with just over two minutes remaining, pulling as close as a single point, but the Aggies survived on the strength of a lead that had swelled to as many as 10 points in the game.
Chennedy Carter and Kayla Wells led Texas A&M (16-4, 5-2 SEC) with 20 points apiece, while Ciera Johnson added in a career-high 19 points.
The Aggies never trailed in the contest, leading 33-31 at halftime and 56-50 after three quarters.
Texas A&M shot 52.1% from the field, a season-high during SEC play, and went 6-of-8 from beyond the arc.
Earlier this season, the Aggies beat No. 8 Oregon State 76-70 at the Maui Jim Maui Classic in Lahaina, Hawai’i. Texas A&M’s current five-game winning streak is the program’s longest in SEC play since 2016.
