JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) _ Kitija Laksa made four 3-pointers and scored 22 points
in No. 22 South Florida’s 78-59 victory over Arkansas State on Sunday.
Maria Jespersen added 14 points and Laura Ferreira 11 for the Bulls (7-0), who
were 30-of-58 shooting for 51.7 percent. Tamara Henshaw added 10 rebounds with
eight points.
Akasha Westbrook scored 16 points and Dominique Oliver 10 for the Red Wolves
(1-7).
USF trailed 32-30 at halftime before Laksa hit consecutive 3-pointers and added
another bucket in an 8-0 run to start the third quarter. A tip-in by Henshaw at
the end of the period gave the Bulls an 11-point lead and they pulled away in
the fourth quarter, leading by 20 with 3:35 to go.
The Bulldogs are now just a win away from a program-best 8-0 start, which has
been reached twice in program history. Their next game comes at home Wednesday
night against Saint Francis (Pennsylvania).
