COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Gary Blair and Texas A&M played to their strength to beat pesky Drake. Freshman Chennedy Carter scored 26 points and the fourth-seeded Aggies beat 13th-seed Drake 89-76 on Friday in the opening round of the women’s NCAA Tournament.

Khaalia Hillsman added 22 to help send the Aggies to the second round against DePaul. Drake shot three free throws in the game. Sara Rhine scored 21 had for Drake (26-8) and had a nearly perfect offensive day. She hit 10 of 11 from the field and made her only free throw.

Texas A&M’s win halted a 21-game winning streak by Drake.
