MONROE, La. – ULM outscored Arkansas State, 12-5, over the closing 4 1/2 minutes en route to a 62-55 victory in Fant-Ewing Coliseum Saturday afternoon as the Warhawks completed the series sweep on the opening weekend of Sun Belt Conference play. The Warhawks converted eight-straight free throws in the final 1:20 to ice the game.
It also marked ULM's third consecutive win over Arkansas State, matching the Warhawks' longest streak (1984-85) in series history.
"It definitely was a grind-it-out win," ULM head coach Keith Richard said. "It's difficult to beat any Division I team twice in one season, and we're trying to do it against a conference opponent on back-to-back days.
