NEW ORLEANS — Junior forward Raegan Ojoro
scored all 22 of her points in the second half Thursday to rally LSU-Alexandria

The Gold Nuggets (12-8 overall, 6-6 RRAC) will
visit LSU-Shreveport at 2 p.m. Saturday.

in the final 20 minutes — helped the Generals (8-12, 7-6) flip the script after XULA
led 35-22 at halftime. It was LSUA's fifth consecutive victory.
Nia Bishop and
Abryhia Irons scored 17 points apiece for
XULA, and
Shylia McGee grabbed 13 rebounds.
LSUA opened the third quarter with a 19-2
run and took the lead for good on Jade Brumfield's basket at 4:26 of that period.
That gave the Generals a 39-37 advantage.
LSUA made 24-of-31 free throws to the Gold Nuggets' 5-of-12.
