NEW ORLEANS – The Texas State women's basketball team (23-8, 14-4 SBC) narrowly escaped Louisiana (17-16, 10-8 SBC), 62-56, inside Lakefront Arena in the 2018 Sun Belt Conference Championship semifinal round on Saturday evening.
"What a hard fought battle," head coach Zenarae Antoine said. "I think our team, especially our upperclassmen, understands that Lafayette plays with phenomenal energy. We have understood for a long time that coach Broadhead and his teams do not stop, they keep fighting and keep working hard. Understanding that is part of the battle when you are in this type of situation in postseason.
