CLARKSVILLE, Ark. – The Louisiana College women's basketball team used a 13-0 run during the second quarter to open up a lead it would not relinquish as the Wildcats picked up their first American Southwest Conference win of the season with a 75-67 win over the University of the Ozarks Eagles Saturday afternoon at Mabee Gymnasium.
 
With the game tied at 13-13 two minutes into the second quarter, the game deciding run started as Christina Canale found Alex Harrison above the arc, who drained a three-pointer to give the Wildcats the lead for the rest of the contest. The run was capped two minutes later a ZyUnn Cormier grabbed a rebound and found Kayla Kinney in the open court for a transition lay-up and a 26-13 LC advantage. Ozarks would cut that lead down to as little as six points in the third quarter, but another LC push assured there would be no Eagle comeback. Leading 41-35 with five minutes remaining in the third, Cormier was fouled and hit two free throws to kick off a 9-0 spurt by the Wildcats that Alex Harrison ended by hitting her own pair of free throws to make it 50-35 with 2:45 left in the third quarter and the lead never went below double-figures until right at the final buzzer. The Wildcat lead peaked at 16 points on a lay-up by Harrison with 3:30 left in the game that made it 71-55 before coasting to the final score.
