Brooke Walter had 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting to go with four assists and four steals for LP (14-3 overall, 11-0 SEC) and Sarah Holtz had 17 points and nine rebounds.
“I was frustrated with our kids after Monday and I really challenged them to come out and work hard,” LP head coach Justin Morris said. “I wanted us to work as hard as we could every single possession and they matched that challenge and then some. They played as hard as I’ve seen them play all year. I was extremely proud of the kids today.”
