Lady Greyhounds Clinch Third in Region

The Lady Greyhounds used a big third quarter to take a 70-64 win at National Park College in Hot Springs to clinch the third seed in the NJCAA Region 2 Tournament that begins this week.

ASU Mid-South led from the start and took a 31-26 lead into halftime before posting 25 points in the third quarter to lead 56-45. National Park narrowed the lead in the final period, but the Lady Greyhounds were never threatened as the final count would be as close as the game would get in the second half thanks to a Lady Nighthawk three-pointer at the buzzer.

The Lady Greyhounds shot 37.7% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point line while winning the battle of the boards, 40-33, and forcing 15 turnovers while committing only 8. Aryah Hazley and Jazzmen Robinson led the way as each recorded a double-double, Hazley with 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Robinson with 20 points and 12 boards. 

The win clinches the third seed in the NJCAA Region 2 Tournament that begins Wednesday, March 1, as the Lady Greyhounds will host South Arkansas Community College at 6:00pm in The Dog House. The winner advances to the semifinals on Saturday, March 4, at North Arkansas College in Harrison. The finals will be played Monday, March 6, at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, with tipoff scheduled for 5:30pm.
