The University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team led 47-46 with 3:00 remaining Friday night, but playing with a short rotation in their first game since Jan. 2, the Trojans faded late at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock and fell 55-50 to Texas-Arlington.
"I thought our kids played a really hard fought game," UALR Coach Joe Foley said. "For coming off a 20-day break and being pretty limited really to a six-man rotation, I thought we fought our tails off."
Sidelined for nearly three weeks due to a covid-19 outbreak within the program, the Trojans (5-5, 1-2 Sun Belt Conference) were sunk by a 9-2 Mavericks run over the final 2:45.
