UALR step away from NCAA berth

NEW ORLEANS -- The University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team is one victory away from a Sun Belt Conference championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The Trojans advanced to the Sun Belt championship game in a 66-63 victory Saturday night in the semifinals over Troy, the only team to defeat UALR during the conference season.

UALR (22-9) led by as much as 11 points in the fourth quarter, and Troy (17-14) had one final shot after UALR junior forward Raeyana DeGray missed two free throws with 6.4 seconds left in the game.
