MONROE, La. (3/7/19) – The Arkansas State women’s basketball lost to Louisiana-Monroe 65-53 Thursday evening at Fant-Ewing Coliseum.
With the loss, A-State falls to 11-17 on the season and 6-11 in the league and has now secured itself of being the No. 9 seed going into next Sun Belt Conference Tournament. ULM improved its record to 10-18 and 4-13 in the SBC.
A-State was led offensively by Peyton Martin with 11 points and six rebounds, while Jireh Washington also finished in double-figures with 10 points and four rebounds.
“Give credit to ULM because they basically did the same thing at our place earlier in the year where they get the ball to their best player and let her bury her head and get to the basket and we just did a poor job of stopping her tonight,” A-State head coach Brian Boyer said.
