Senior forward Alayshia Hunter became the 18th member of the 1,000 point club Thursday night when the Lady Warhawks fell to Arkansas-Little Rock 53-37.
“I thought about it at the start of this year. But I didn’t really think I was going to make it, especially this early in the season with seven more regular-season games left,” said Hunter.
Besides Hunter joining the 1,000 point club there was not a lot of high points in the game for the home team.
UALR came out of the gates hot taking an 11-4 lead after the first quarter.
Head coach Jeff Dow mentioned about how the team can’t rely just on Hunter for offense.
“We’ve had some games this year when she’s about all we’ve had going offensively but it’s never been to this extreme,” Dow said.
ULM would go into halftime down 29-15.
Coming out of the half the Warhawks looked to turn around their offense and not just rely on the post play of Alayshia Hunter.
But the Warhawks were outscored 17-6 in the third period and UALR took a 46-21 lead going into the fourth quarter.
“If we can just get five more boards and hold them to five fewer, maybe the score is 47-45. It’s not pretty to watch, but we can at least give ourselves a chance,” Dow said.
In the fourth quarter the Warhawks started knocking down some shots and making a run, but it was too late and Little Rock would go on to win the game 53-37.
