TEXARKANA, Texas Kayla Williams made a huge impact for the Texas A&M University-Texarkana women s basketball team, taking the lead position on a roster that had been depleted from the previous season. She responded by leading the Eagles back to the RRAC Championships, grabbed the RRAC Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year awards, and most recently became the first in program history to be selected as a NAIA All-American.
Texarkana hold off Huston-Tillotson, 75-71, in an entertaining RRAC contest at the Patterson Center. The Eagles (10-10 overall, 7-7 RRAC) snapped a four-game losing streak and pulled even with the Rams (9-7, 7-7) and North American to force a three-way tie for fourth in the conference.
