Wildcats Top Performers:
 

• Princis Goff put on a show for the home crowd, dazzling the Wildcats faithful with a game-high 20 points and 12 rebounds for her first career double-double, picked off a pair of passes, logged one of the club's two blocks, and shot 43.8% for the contest (7-of-16).

 

• Her former LSUE (LSU Eunice) teammate and now LCU companion Deja Tanks made it 2-for-2 regarding double-doubles as part of Coach Phillips crew, snatching up 12 points and 10 boards despite only playing 13+ minutes due to early foul trouble.

 

• Olivia Scott must still be feeling in the Thanksgiving spirit, setting a career/contest-best of eight assists, three more than her previous benchmark, to go with six points and four rebounds.

 

• An'Tiesha Griffin was rewarded with her first start of the season after a 21-point barrage off the bench in the opener and delivered a dozen much-needed points to the lineup.

 

• DaKayla Howard and McKayla Price joined forces to conjure up 13 points, ten boards, four assists, and four steals between the two.

 
Notes:
 

• Neither team shot particularly well as both sets of Wildcats were in the mid-30s for field-goal percentage, but the home side from Pineville took control of a significant portion of the rebounds with a plus-15 margin, 52-37.

 

• It was a turnover-filled, defensive rock fight for the majority of the night as both squads committed 20-plus turnovers with each reaching double-figure steal totals.

 
Next:
 

• RRACtion gets underway on Thursday evening on the Arkansas/Texas border as the Orange and Blue look to ground the Texas A&M-Texarkana Eagles at 5:30 p.m. in the club's regular season road opener.
