New Orleans, LA – The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Lady Lions put the Lady Privateers to rest at the Lakefront Arena to the tune of 63-54.

The Lady Lions got on the scoreboard first, at the 18:59 mark, with a three point basket from Cassidy Wright who led all scorers with 16 points and seven steals.

The lead would flip flop back and forth early in the ballgame, but the Lady Lions would regain the lead at the 4:29 mark of the first half and never look back.
