SAN MARCOS, Texas (Interstat) — The Tarleton State Texans and Texas State Bobcats, both seeking to build momentum after difficult starts to the season, will face off in a non-conference women’s basketball game Tuesday at Strahan Coliseum.

The Texans (2-4) enter the contest following a lopsided 80-32 road loss to Texas Christian on Nov. 20. Guard Gia Adams led the team with five points in that defeat. Tarleton State’s two victories this season came against Houston Christian in double-overtime and Schreiner.

The Bobcats (1-4) snapped a four-game losing streak with a 53-43 win at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Nov. 20. Saniya Burks scored a game-high 21 points in the victory, while Kyra Anderson added nine points, seven rebounds, three assists and three blocks.

Tuesday’s game represents an opportunity for either team to secure a rare win against an in-state opponent. Following this matchup, Tarleton State travels to face Mississippi Valley State on Dec. 2. Texas State’s next game is at home against Prairie View on Nov. 30.
