  *   The Bears take their first official win over the East Texas A&M Lions and have the 1-0 lead in the series.

  *   Aaronette Vonleh’s 18 points on the evening moves her two away from the 1,000-career point mark in her fourth season of college basketball.
  *   Vonleh had her fifth career double-double, adding 11 (T-career best) rebounds to her 18 points, while also taking three steals.
