Southland Conference Tournament Provides Merrell Madness

McNeese St Head Coach Brooks Donald-Williams  &  Caitlyn Baggett
 If yesterdays action is any indication on what to expect tomorrow then anyone watching will be in for a treat. Four good games, no actually four great games including Nicholls States win over Central Arkansas 79-59, Nicholls State was seeded 8th while Central Arkansas won the regular season conference


 This means that McNeese State is the top seeded team left and even though they started off slowly, the firepower produced by the those terrific twins, Caitlyn and Ashlyn Baggett who combined for 37 points while Kendra Wells cleaned up the boards with 21 rebounds puts them in the drivers seat to head back to the "Big Dance" after defeating Southeastern Louisiana 67-55.




Texas State defeated Sam Houston State in a shootout, 74-66 with Ashley Ezeh and Diamond Ford combining for 44 points, both are former area stars



Stephen F Austin defeated Lamar 73-64 behind 16 points from yet another former area star Tamara Marion. More to come from the tournament later today.
