Poor start, finish dooms Arkansas women's basketball in loss to Liberty

Liberty blitzed the Arkansas women’s basketball team early and pulled away from the Razorbacks off late to win 75-61 on Wednesday at the Cherokee (N.C) Invitational.

Arkansas fell behind 27-10 by the end of the first quarter and was outscored 21-6 during a key stretch of the fourth quarter. It was the second consecutive loss for the Razorbacks (6-7).
