MONROE, La. – Alayshia Hunter had game-highs of 23 points and 11 rebounds as the ULM women’s basketball team edged Texas State 63-59 on Saturday in Fant-Ewing Coliseum.
“One of the things we had struggled with is letting teams get double-digit leads,” head coach Jeff Dow said. “To ourcredit, more often than not, we have had great comebacks. It’s tough to keep doing that. Defensively we talked about buckling down in the fourth quarter. We held them to 21 percent from the field and one made three-pointer.”
ULM, which led 19-9 at the first intermission, took its first lead of the fourth quarter, 59-57, on two Hunter free-throws with 1:26 left.
