Lady Greyhounds End Season in Region Tournament Semifinals

One poor outing and the season came to an end for the Lady Greyhounds as they fell to Southern Arkansas University Tech in the Region 2 Tournament semifinals Sunday at Harding University. ASU Mid-South ends the season with a 17-10 record after finishing the year ranked #16 in the final NJCAA National Rankings.

Sunday's game was simply one of those nights as the second-seeded Lady Greyhounds shot just 32.7% from the field, 50% from the free throw line, were outrebounded 44-35 and committed 24 turnovers to the third-seeded Lady Rockets' 16. Even so the Lady Greyhounds trailed by just 4 points at the half, and after playing even in the third quarter were then outscored by 16 points in the final period to take a 67-47 decision. ASU Mid-South had taken the first two meetings this season against SAU Tech with a 59-51 win in East Camden on January 27 and an 84-63 victory at home on February 6.

No Lady Greyhounds scored in double figures as Aaliyah Lee and Alindavia Lockett led ASU Mid-South with 8 points each. Lockett also led with 6 rebounds while Meleanna Williams dished out a team-high 4 assists. Lady Greyhound leading scorer Jaylia Reed was held to just 3 points in 32 minutes.

This is the second season in a row the Lady Greyhounds have finished in the Top 20 of the National Rankings after advancing to the NJCAA National Tournament last season and finishing seventh in the nation with a 25-2 overall record.
