Last week's rough start for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team featured back-to-back road losses by 43 and 26 points, while the Trojans combined to score 75 points.
But in Wednesday night's home opener against LSU, the Trojans refused to get dusted.
LSU (2-1) still powered its way to a 65-50 victory over UALR (0-3) at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock. But afterward, UALR Coach Joe Foley said his team took a step forward, albeit a small one, against the Tigers.
"LSU I think's a great, quality ballclub, and at times I thought we competed really well, and that's a change from the last two games," Foley said.
