LAFAYETTE, LA - The Ragin' Cajuns women's basketball team fell on Friday night by a final of 64-42 to the host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders in the second game of the fourth Annual Flint Hills Resources Islander Classic.
Louisiana-Lafayette falls to 0-3 and will play Missouri on Saturday at 5pm in the consolation game.
TAMU-CC improves to 3-0 on the season and will face SMU in the tournament finals on Saturday at 7 p.m.
The score was close into the second half until UL Lafayette allowed the Islanders to venture on a 22-6 run that lasted almost eight minutes.
Trailing 32-27 at the half, Tammie White's jumper on the Cajuns first possession of the second stanza cut the Islanders lead to 32-29. The Islanders run started shortly after both teams went scoreless for nearly the next three minutes. By the time the run was over, a stunned Cajuns squad trailed 54-35 with exactly nine minutes left to play.
The Cajuns were just 3-of-11 shooting in the first 11 minutes of the second half, compared to the Islanders who made 9-of-11 over the same span. Both teams shot below 40 percent in the contest, but the difference came in the second half as the Cajuns shot just 30 percent (6-20), while the Islanders shot over 46 percent (13-28), including 4-of-8 from three-point range.
Sarah Richey led the Cajuns with 12 points and added five rebounds and two blocks. Sharee Glenn posted eight points and five boards and Charlotte Green chipped in six points and a game-high nine rebounds.
Anna Hartzell led all scorers with 19 points. The Islanders saw six other players score between six and nine points.
