MEMPHIS — UALR outscored Memphis 9-2 late in the fourth quarter to secure a 54-44 victory at Elma Roane Fieldhouse Sunday.
Kyra Collins’ basket with 3:59 to play put UALR up 43-35, but Memphis closed to 45-42 with 1:41 left.
A layup by Loysha Morris, a three-pointer by Taylor Williams and two free throws by Williams sandwiched a jumper by Kyra Collier in that run.
