Nicole Anderson Picks Up Win Number One as Lions' Head Coach

Texas A&M University-Commerce women's basketball coach Nicole Anderson picked up her first win as the Lions' head coach in a 63-55 win over Texas A&M-International in Kingsville, Texas on Saturday.

A&M-Commerce (1-3) had three players in double figures as Mattilyn McIntyre led the Lions with 14 points. Nakazi Glover and Genevieve Campbell, who each had 13 points, respectively, joined her in double figures.

Anderson made a change to her starting lineup as Ashley Murphy and Anisha Ingram earned their first starts of the season and both made an impact in the win, noted Anderson. Murphy had nine points and 12 rebounds and Ingram had a seven point, five assist and three-rebound effort.

The Lions held Texas A&M-International to 36.7% shooting from the field and forced 22 turnovers as the DustDevils fall to 1-4 on the season. Four members of the TAMIU squad scored in double figures including Courtney Dixon, who had a team-best 13. She was joined by Kiandra Metoyer and Mary Tobias, who each scored 11 and Johnna Williams added 10.

A&M-Commerce will be idle until its home opener on Thursday, December 12th at 6 pm when they host Abilene Christian in a LSC crossover game.
