The Golden Eagles led this one by 13 in the third quarter, then held on when the Longhorns twice pushed to within a single point. It marked the highest-ranked opponent the Golden Eagles have beaten in program history. Sonya Morris scored 13 points to lead Texas, which again played without star Rori Harmon due to injury.
