EUNICE, La. – LSU Eunice Women's Basketball exploded out the halftime locker room, using a 14-0 run to set the stage for a 93-51 dismantling of Florida Southwestern State College on Saturday inside the HPRE Center.  The Bengals (3-1) the program's first victory over a Florida area NJCAA team in nearly two decades.
 
LSU Eunice clung to a slim 37-32 lead at intermission but would quickly build a 28-point advantage after the end of the third quarter.  A 14-0 run in the first 3:30 minutes of the second half would jump start the Bengals.  Logan Cookmeyer (Walker, LA, Walker HS) ignited the Bengals to start the run, scoring the first five points and forcing a turnover for an Aryanna Ridgeway (Nashville, TN, Ezell Harding Christian School) basket.
 
The defense forced three straight turnovers on the back end of the run with LSUE pushing its lead to 51-32 with 6:30 to play in the third quarter.  Cookmeyer scored 10 of her team-high 18 points in the frame, while Kamryn Billiot-Jones (Humble, TX, Atascocita HS) added seven of her nine points.
 
Billiot-Jones led the team with 10 rebounds.
 
Reesie Jinks (Grant, LA, Fairview HS) continued her strong play to begin the season, flirting with a triple-double.  Jinks netted 16 points, grabbed five rebounds, and dished out 10 assist in the win.  Edurne Diaz de la Serna Munoz (Ripollet, Spain, Institut Palau Ausit) added 15 points while collecting six of the team's 23 steals.
