HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - The Ladyjacks got a career-high 24 points from Charity Egenti, but it wasn't enough to stop No. 24 Arkansas. The Ladyjacks dropped a 75-54 decision to the Razorbacks at the Summit Arena in Hot Springs. The Ladyjacks drop to 7-5 on the season.
The Ladyjacks took an early eight-point lead, but Arkansas was able to battle back. The Lady Razorbacks knocked down six three-pointers in the first half led by Donica Cosby. Cosby finished the game with 23 points, and was 7-of-10 from beyond the arc for the game. The Lady `Backs outscored SFA 37-28 in the second half.
The Ladyjacks finished the game 23-of-65 (35 percent) from the floor, while Arkansas was 26-of-67 (39 percent). The telling stat of the game was Arkansas' ability to knock down the three. The Lady Razorbacks were 11-of-22 (50 percent) from beyond the arc, while SFA was only able to hit 2-of-11 (18 percent) of its threes. SFA was also outrebounded 48-36.
Freshman Whitney Cormier added eight points and three rebounds, while senior Jennifer Simpson chipped in seven. SFA also got four points from sophomores Natashia Green and Anitria Mosley.
