The UALR women's basketball team's offensive struggles Thursday night weren't a huge surprise to Coach Joe Foley, whose team has labored to score points through eight games.
What disappointed Foley in UALR's 56-50 victory over Oral Roberts in the Jack Stephens Center was a third-quarter defensive lapse that cost UALR the lead, necessitating a comeback sparked by a lucky bounce and a big fourth quarter from senior forward Kaitlyn Pratt.
Raeyana DeGray's three-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer bounced off the front of the rim and fell through the net to tie the game at 35-35, then Pratt scored 12 of her career-high 24 points in the final quarter as the Trojans pulled away for their third consecutive victory.
