LAWRENCE, Kansas – The Texas A&M women's basketball team dropped Wednesday night's game against the Kansas Jayhawks, 74-42, inside Allen Fieldhouse.

Freshman guard Sydney Bowles paced the Aggies (4-3) with 14 points. Senior Aaliyah Patty grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds and added nine points, one blocked shot and two steals.

The Aggies fell behind 12-5 at the 4:02 mark of the first quarter but hit 4-of-6 field goals down the stretch to cut the deficit to 14-13 at the break.

Bowles hit a jumper early in the second quarter to give Texas A&M its first lead of the game, 15-14. Kansas (6-0) responded with an 8-0 run to claim a 24-17 edge with 3:01 remaining in the half. The Jayhawks eventually stretched the lead to nine points, but Aaliyah Patty hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the top of the arc to shave the deficit to 32-26 headed to the intermission.

Kansas outscored the Aggies 21-8 in both the third and fourth quarters, leading to the final 74-42 result.

Freshman forward Janiah Barker, who entered the contest averaging 14.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, logged just five minutes in the first half due to a hand injury. Barker attempted to play in the second half, managing just two minutes. She finished the game with one point and one rebound.

Senior center Sydnee Roby also left the game in the first half with an ailment, finishing with six minutes on the floor.
