Senior guard Meghan Braeuer continued to be an offensive threat for the Bobcats, scoring a floor-high 22 points on 6-of-11 shooting for Texas State. The Belton, Texas native hit five three-pointers, putting her conference-leading total up to 27 for the season. Her mark of five made three-pointers matched her previous career-high set against Texas Tech on November 18.
 
A 14-6 run in the final six minutes of the first half by the Bobcats propelled Texas State to a 40-32 lead at the break. Highlights of the first half included a floor-high 10 points by Erin Peoples and just four turnovers by the Bobcat offense.
 
Peoples had several igniting moments in the first, including a steal and a fastbreak lay-up with 13:38 remaining. The combo of Ayriel Anderson and Peoples exchanged the ball several times after Peoples' steal to result in the lay-up.
 
After an A&M Commerce run to begin the second half and come within two of Texas State, Braeuer proceeded to rattle off back-to-back three pointers along with a lay-up by Peoples to build a 10-point lead once again.
 
In the closing minutes of the second, A&M Commerce came within two of the Bobcats. A fifth three-pointer of the afternoon for Braeuer with 1:15 on the clock solidified the Bobcats lead heading into the final seconds of the contest.
 
Peoples finished the game with 18 points to go along with 10 rebounds for her eighth career double-double for Texas State. The Bobcats finished the afternoon with just nine turnovers while forcing 11 and ultimately won the rebounding battle, 42-39, over A&M Commerce.
 
The Bobcats will now travel to Florida for the Stetson Hatter Classic scheduled to take place December 19-20 in Deland, Fla. The Bobcats will take on Bethune-Cookman at 2 p.m. CT on Dec. 19. Live stats, live video, and live audio will be available at www.txstatebobcats.com.
