CLARKSVILLE, AR (12.05.15) - Junior forward Micaela Gonzalez recorded her third "double-double" of the season Saturday afternoon as she lifted the No. 25-ranked UT Dallas women's basketball team to a 67-57 win at Ozarks to open American Southwest Conference play.

McKenzie Petty added nine points while Alisa Greene added eight points. Point guard Zavier Landry scored five points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out seven assists.
