UTPB women's basketball struggled to score Thursday night, shooting just 25 percent from the field in a 21-point, 68-47 loss at home against Texas A&M International.

The Falcons led by a pair of points early on by scoring on its first two possessions of the game with a layup by Shaquiri Graham and a pair of free throws by Keyondra White to lead 4-2 after the first minute.

That was the only time the Falcons led on the night as an 11-point run by the Dustdevils quickly had them trailing 13-4 after five additional minutes.

UTPB could get no closer than nine points throughout the remainder of the first half and trailed 35-24 at the break.

The early moments of the second belonged to the Dustdevils, countering a layup by Graham on the first possession of the half with seven straight points of their own to increase their lead to 16.

The Falcons were able to later cut a 19-point defecit down to 12 points with 4:04 remaining but were out-scored 11-2 to end the game.

Graham led the Falcons with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting inside for UTPB.

Jessica Woo led all scorers with 15 points on a 7-of-10 night from the field for Texas A&M International.

The Falcons are back in action Saturday afternoon, hosting St. Mary's at 1 p.m.
