BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Texas A&M women's basketball team dominated the Prairie View A&M Panthers, 88-36, Wednesday inside Reed Arena to extend its win streak to nine games.

The stretch of victories is the longest for Texas A&M (11-1) since an 11-game streak running from January 17-March 5, 2021. On the heels of their 95-45 victory over Mississippi Valley State, the Aggies won back-to-back games by 50-plus points for the first time since November 2006.

The Aggies recorded a season-high 17 steals as the Panthers were on the wrong end of a 27-9 turnover disparity. The Maroon & White turned it into a 32-7 edge in points off turnovers. Texas A&M also posted huge advantages in fastbreak points (29-5) and points in the paint (44-18).

Aicha Coulibaly paced the Aggies with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field. She added three rebounds, three steals and two assists.

Sahara Jones registered a career-high five assists to go along with six rebounds and six points.

Lauren Ware came up just shy of her eighth double-double of the season with 14 points, on 5-of-9 from the field, and eight rebounds.

Janiah Barker nabbed a season-high four steals. She finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot.

Solè Williams gave the Aggies four players with double digits in the scoring column with 11 points.

Jones needed just 6:20 to equal her career high with four assists as the Aggies built a 21-7 lead after one quarter. Ware paced A&M with seven rebounds and three assists in the first stanza.

After Prairie View scored the initial basket of the second quarter, the Maroon & White blitzed the Panthers with a 24-3 run for the remainder of the half to take a 45-14 lead into halftime. The Aggies assisted on 14 of their 19 first half field goals en route to shooting 52.8%.

Any thoughts of a Prairie View comeback were put to rest when Ol' Sarge's charges started the second half on a 12-0 run, inflating the cushion to 57-14 and never looking back. The Aggies secured the 88-36 victory and their ninth straight win.

Up Next

The Aggies take a break from hoops over the holiday season until they return to the court on Dec. 31 versus A&M-Commerce at 2 p.m. inside Reed Arena.

POSTGAME QUOTES

Head Coach Joni Taylor
On forcing 27 turnovers during the game...
"I think that we were pretty disciplined in what we did. We wanted to take them out of their offense. Sandy (Pugh) does a really good job on stuff that they run, and she's got really good players, who if you let them get to their spots and just pass and catch and get to where they wanna go, it makes it really difficult. She's got three high-level transfers who can really take you in space. So, I thought where we were really good in helping and rotating on defense."

On the depth of the team...
"I think our depth is good. We've got players coming off the bench who could be starting other places. And so, that just speaks to their humility and selfless service in terms of how they wanna be for the team. I think that they all understand what their role is, and they come in and do their part night in and night out."

Junior Forward Lauren Ware
On different rotations throughout the game...
"I think it's great. It gives our bench the ability to have some minutes and get that experience. I think that's kind of the biggest thing going into conference play. Especially with a new team like us, we have a lot of freshmen and transfers. With games like this, we can mix up different lineups and everybody gets to play together."

Senior Guard Sahara Jones
On the difference between this time last year and now...
"It feels really good, we're winning. The people that I'm around are really fun and we love to win, and we love to come to practice every day. We love seeing each other 24/7 and we just get along so well. We have great chemistry and we want have fun when we get on the court."
