afternoon, allowing West

the host and the Vols went down against LSU.In the afternoon's first game, the Lady Rebels were unable
to score throughout the first half, with only eight total

quarter, the Lady Rebels were unable to produce as many
points and trailed 21-8 at intermission. Strayhorn led

Rachel Arnold with two each. Toombs scored one bucket from
the field for two and Sarah Hartz added one at the line
for McKenzie.

were only able to narrow the margin so far before the Lady

lead. Lindsey Jones hit two shots from three-point range
