JONESBORO -- February has been harsh to the Arkansas State University women's basketball team.
The Red Wolves began the month in contention in the Sun Belt Conference. By the end of it, they've dipped into the bottom half of the league with a sub-.500 record.
But ASU pulled itself together Friday night at First National Bank Arena, and it did so in dominating fashion over its in-state rival.
Junior forward Peyton Martin posted her second double-double of the season with 18 points and 12 rebounds, three other Red Wolves scored in double figures, and ASU used a big second-half effort to run away with a 72-54 victory over the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, splitting the season series with the Trojans.
