STEPHENVILLE, TX: The Texas Wesleyan University women's basketball team (1-0) narrowly fell to Tarleton State University (0-0), 67-63 in an exhibition contest on Wednesday night.
 
In the first half the TexAnns led by as many as 11 before Wesleyan chopped the lead down to 30-27. Bailey Broadnax tied the game at 47-47 on a jumper to start the final quarter, but could not take control of the lead.
