KATY, Texas (AP) _ Maggie Proffitt scored 21 points to lead Central Arkansas to
a 60-35 victory over Stephen F. Austin on Sunday in the Southland Conference
Tournament championship for its 17th consecutive victory and a repeat appearance
in the NCAA Tournament.
Proffitt was 9-of-12 shooting with Taylor Baudoin adding 13 points and nine
rebounds, Kierra Jordan nine points, 13 rebounds and three steals.
The top-seeded Sugar Bears (26-4) lost two of their first three conference
games before going on their winning streak, which now includes three victories
over the third-seeded Ladyjacks (25-7). Central Arkansas' second victory over
SFA snapped a 14-game winning streak for the Ladyjacks.
The Sugar Bears played in title game for the third time in seven years and won
their second straight championship. SFA was denied its 16th tournament
championship in its 20th finals appearance since 1988. The Ladyjacks last
tournament title came in 2006.
Stevi Parker led SFA with 11 points and eight rebounds.
