ARLINGTON, Texas (1/30/21) – Jada Stinson matched her career high with 24 points, but Arkansas State women's basketball dropped a hard-fought 80-71 contest at UT Arlington Saturday afternoon at the College Park Center.
The Red Wolves (9-5, 4-4 SBC) out-rebounded the Mavericks (8-4, 6-2) 44 to 34 and held a five-point fourth-quarter lead, but UTA went on a 15-2 run to take the lead for good and sweep the series. The game was back and forth throughout, featuring 12 ties and 17 lead changes.
"We tried to defend the game and rely on their percentages since they had some shooting 40-50 percent hit free throws, and that's how you close those games out," head coach Matt Daniel said.
