Texas State’s conference-opening games over the weekend marked a noticeable change for the team.
Senior forward Da’Nasia Hood, a Preseason All-Sun Belt First Team selection, didn’t play up to her standards for most of the month of December. She averaged just 9.7 points per game across the six contests she played in. She missed the Bobcats’ game against UTEP on Dec. 13 due to a coach’s decision, was relegated out of the starting lineup over the next few matchups and was ruled out again for the team’s game against San Diego on Dec. 21 after being placed in the concussion protocol.
She wasn’t cleared to play again until last weekend when the maroon and gold took on Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana — Texas State luckily didn’t have any games scheduled in between due to the holiday break.
