McLeod, Mraz pace 'Cats at SLU

HAMMOND, La. — Anna McLeod scored 14 points, Kamryn Mraz added 13, but the Wildcat women's basketball team fell on the road Monday night at Southeastern Louisiana, 51-46. After a raucous travel schedule to get the game played at all, ACU (12-6, 5-4 SLC) struggled to shoot it at the University Center, converting just 34% of their attempts and 29% from the three-point line. Despite a 14-point lead with four minutes left in the third quarter, SLU (8-6, 7-4 SLC) went on a 15-0 run to grab the lead, and it was close the rest of the way.

Turning Point: The last 14 minutes of the game.

  • ACU led 38-24 with four minutes remaining in the third quarter, but the Lady Lions made a run after that. SLU went on a 15-0 run that spanned a total of seven minutes of game time to take the lead, 39-38, with 6:53 left in the fourth. ACU led 43-41, but the home team finished the game on a 10-3 run to seal the win.
