JONESBORO, Ark. (2/1/18) – Led by a career-high 17 points from freshman Peyton Martin, the Arkansas State women’s basketball team defeated Georgia Southern 69-48 in a Sun Belt Conference matchup Saturday afternoon at First National Bank Arena.
Martin scored 11 points in the second half as the Red Wolves (12-10, 7-4 Sun Belt) increased their lead to complete the season sweep of the Eagles. The freshman from Pine Bluff, Ark., went 7-of-8 from the free throw line and grabbed five rebounds on the way to her best game of the season. She gave A-State a much needed spark late in the third quarter and it carried into the final period as A-State outscored Georgia Southern by nine points over the final 10 minutes.
