COMMERCE – Cora and Nina Horvath combined for 35 points on Sunday afternoon as the East Texas A&M University women's basketball took an 81-42 win over the UT Dallas Comets on the Hunt Regional Healthcare Court in the Field House.
 
After the Lions led by as much as 11 in the first quarter, UT Dallas held East Texas A&M without a point for two minutes and 21 seconds to begin the second quarter and made it a 17-13 game.
 
The Lions responded by scoring the next nine and the scoring margin was not within single digits the rest of the game. The win moves the Lions to 2-1 on the season, while this game was an exhibition for the Comets, who begin their season next week.
