by LAWTON – The Cameron women’s basketball team fell 75-60 to Angelo State on Thursday evening to move to 8-13 overall and 6-7 in Lone Star Conference play.
The win for ASU is their seventh in a row moving the Rambelles to 15-5 overall and 10-3 in the league.
Jamie Bonnarens led Cameron with 19 points, while Parfitt McNair and Ava Battese (PBPN/Comanche) 14 points apiece.

The Rambelles outscored the Aggies 19-14 in the first two periods to lead 38-28 at the half. Much of ASU’s success came from defensive play as the Rambelles cashed in 14 CU turnovers for 19 points, eight of those were on takeaways.
