“We have improved so much,”

“The difference was we were

loach John Sutherland said.
The Lady Aggies, behind the
oring of Evelyn Sanders and
Paula Crutcher, jumped out to a
[quick 10-6 lead. After Sanders hit
a spinning eight-footer in the

nsas began to press. It payed

awson stole an in-bounds pass
d scored to make it 10-8.
■ A&M still led 14-12 at the
11:27 mark, but Arkansas went

Igies came right back.

points for the Razorbacks during
the spurt.
With 6:12 left in the game, the
Lady Aggies came storming back.
Lisa Jordan hit one of two free
throws, and A&M finally started
hitting some outside shots. Fresh
man Traci Thomas banged in a
15-footer, and Lisa Herner and
Donna Roper both nailed jump
ers from just inside the three-
point circle as the Lady Aggies
cut it to eight at 56-48.
Arkansas’ Sheila Burkes cut
underneath for a layup to break
the run, but Roper scored on a
drive and fast-break layup, and
suddenly it was a six-point game
at 58-52.
Herner was able to hit a 3-
pointer with 46 seconds left to
make it 61-56. But Webb drove
the right baseline for a layup, and
the Razorbacks had their 15th
win of the season.
Arkansas also stymied the Lady
Aggies’ comeback by hitting four
of six free throws in the game’s fi
nal minute and a half.
The Razorbacks’ Wynn led all
scorers with 15 points. Roper led
A&M with 12 points, while
Crutcher, playing her last game
at G. Rollie White, chipped in 11.
