NEW ORLEANS — The UALR women’s basketball team found some offense in the second half, and now the Trojans are headed back to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament final.
Shanity James had 18 points and Kaitlyn Pratt had 13 to lead the second-seeded Trojans to a 63-52 victory over third-seeded Louisiana-Lafyaette in a semifinal game at Lakefront Arena.
The victory puts UALR (20-11) into a 7 p.m. Sun Belt final tomorrow against Troy, which upset No. 1 seed Arkansas State earlier Friday. The Trojans are in the final for the seventh time in the last eight seasons and will try Saturday to win their fourth tournament in the last six years.
