LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Women's Basketball overcame a late fourth-quarter surge from the visiting Mississippi College Lady Choctaws to lock up a 58-47 win in its final exhibition game on Friday night.
Leading 44-28 entering the fourth quarter, the visitors outscored the Ragin' Cajuns, 19-14, with the help of timely free throw shooting, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit Louisiana had built behind a 49 percent (23-for-47) shooting performance on the night.
Nine of the 12 Cajuns that appeared in the contest scored, led by a 10-point effort from sophomore Makayia Hallmon.
