Box Score

POPLARVILLE, Ms. – LSU Eunice saw its program-tying 16-game win streak come to an end against the same team it began against – Pearl River CC.  The Wildcats exacted revenge on the Bengals with a 95-60 victory.
 
The game was a make-up of a postponed January 6 contest due to severe weather in the Gulf Coast region.
 
Pearl River held the advantage virtually wire-to-wire building a double-digit lead late in the first quarter on the heels of a 17-4 run.  Destiny Williams paced Pearl River with 15 of her 20 points in the first half as LSUE trailed 38-19 at the break.
 
Rylie James scored eight of her 13 points in the first half while Arianna Dargin led the Bengals offensive effort with 14 on the night.
 
The Pearl River trio of Tyasia Willis, Rehema Franklin and Williams combined for 66 points on the night.
 
The Bengals' hole swelled to more than 30 points after Pearl River ripped off a 16-6 run to close the third quarter, leading 69-34.  The two teams stalemated in the fourth with PRCC taking that quarter 27-26.
 
LSU Eunice's 16-game win streak began with a 74-65 victory over Pearl River back on November 16.  The winning span lasted a total of 18 games with two being forfeits by Southern-Shreveport.  It tied the school record set by the 2013-14 squad.
