Seven players scored at least six points for A & M, as they outscored the Shockers by 13 in each half to create a 26 point blow out.
Michelle Price was the only person to score in double figures for the overmatched Shockers, who were held to 32.7 percent shooting.
Texas A & M faces Nebraska Monday night.
