COMMERCE, Texas -- — Ron Peace's 5-yard touchdown pass to Dayan Bilbo provided East Texas A&M with a 19-14 win over Stephen F. Austin on Saturday as the Lions celebrated a name change with a victory.
On Thursday, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents voted to change the name of Texas A&M-Commerce to East Texas A&M, effective immediately.
