UALR gets 9 seed to start NCAA run

Joe Foley's 14th UALR women's basketball team won't be considered his most talented. But, to this point, it is among its most decorated.

UALR enters the Sun Belt Conference Tournament as the top seed after winning 17 league games, the second most in program history. The Trojans are led by the league's player of the year in Sharde Collins, first-team selection Kaitlyn Pratt and the top coach in Foley.

The Trojans (23-7) who play No. 9 Appalachian State in a quarterfinal at 11:30 a.m. today at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, got to this point despite a shaky defense and an even more inconsistent offense.
