The University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team looked capable of knocking off a Sun Belt Conference leader at times Thursday night.
UALR had a six-point lead after the opening quarter, then later dug its way out of a 19-point third-quarter deficit to pull within nine heading into the fourth.
But similar to their first meeting two weeks ago, Troy proved too much to handle for UALR, as the home Trojans were dealt a 70-54 defeat by the visiting Trojans at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock.
Troy (24-4, 15-2 Sun Belt), which is tied for first in the Sun Belt with Coastal Carolina, shot 51.
