LAFAYETTE, La. (2/6/21) – Owning a four-point lead through three quarters, Arkansas State women's basketball could not overcome a late surge by Louisiana, dropping a 73-61 decision Saturday at the Cajundome.
The Red Wolves (9-7, 4-6 SBC) took a 49-45 lead into the final period, but the Ragin' Cajuns (9-5, 8-1) outscored A-State 28-12 in the final 10 minutes to take the 12-point win. Louisiana's Skyler Goodwin was the Cajuns' catalyst, scoring 21 of her game-high 24 points in the second half.
"We gave up 18 offensive rebounds – three in the first half, 15 in the second and 11 of those were in the fourth quarter," head coach Matt Daniel said.
