MONROE, La. – With just over four minutes to go, Little Rock senior Kyra Collier fouled out as the Trojans held a nine-point lead over ULM. You could practically feel Trojan fans everywhere holding their breath.
They can breathe easy. In fact, it was almost as if there was nothing to worry about. Almost.
Little Rock (7-11, 5-2 Sun Belt) would finish the game on an 11-0 run in those final four minutes and pull away for a 70-50 win at ULM in front of 744 fans at Fant-Ewing Coliseum Thursday evening.
The Trojans would end up relying on a career-high 17 points from Sydney Chastain and a game-high 18 points in a double-double performance from Teal Battle in the 20-point win over the Warhawks (3-15, 1-6), as well as a lock-down defense after Little Rock's playmaker exited the game.
