ASU Mid-South held the visitors to just 12 points in the final period and shot a perfect 20-of-20 from the free throw line to put away the pesky Lady Bulldogs. It is the first time a Lady Greyhound team has shot 100% from the free throw line in a game in program history and breaks the record of 86.2% (25-29) set against St. Louis Community College on November 8, 2019.
Shorter shot just 39.3% from the field and 3-of-19 (15.8%) from the three-point line while the Lady Greyhounds shot 37.9% from the field and 2-of-12 (16.7%) from the arc. The Lady Bulldogs won the battle of the boards, 41-37, but ASU Mid-South forced 24 turnovers while turning it over just 12 times.
Lakeycia Bables led the Lady Greyhounds with 15 points while Aryah Hazley scored 11 points to go with a game-high 4 steals. Jazzmen Robinson chipped in 10 points and pulled down a team-high 7 rebounds. Quintasia Leatherwood dished out a game-high 5 assists to go with 5 rebounds and 8 points.
