NEW ORLEANS - Kyra Collier scored 21 points, including the game-winning layup with 1:09 to play, and top-seeded Little Rock defeated South Alabama 57-56 in the Sun Belt Women's Basketball Championship game on Saturday, earning an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season.
Sun Belt player of the year Ronjanae DeGray added 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Trojans (21-10) and her twin sister Raeyana had nine points and 10 rebounds.
Little Rock, which won its third consecutive regular-season title, didn't secure its sixth NCAA trip until Devyn Lowe's 3-pointer from the right wing came up short as time ran out.
