A 17-3 Louisiana-Lafayette scoring run that spanned the closing minutes of the first half and the opening 3:10 of the second sank the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, which fell to the Ragin' Cajuns 58-48 in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament on Sunday at the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Fla.
The shorthanded Trojans (15-11) shot 58.3% from the field in the first quarter and led 28-27 at halftime before senior Teal Battle fell into foul trouble in the third quarter. She spent seven minutes on the bench in the second half and UALR faded without her, as the Trojans were outscored 31-20 in the final 20 minutes.
