EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- The University of Arkansas-Little Rock women's basketball team needed one win to reach the NCAA Tournament.
But the Trojans failed to do so as Tennessee-Martin pulled out its second win in as many nights with a 54-48 victory over the Trojans in the semifinal round of the Ohio Valley Tournament on Friday afternoon at the Ford Center.
Jayla Brooks led all scorers with 18 points, including nine in the fourth quarter on 3 three-pointers that kept the Trojans in the game. Faith Lee and Jordan Holman each finished with seven points.
"I thought it was a good ballgame as far as the defensive battle," UALR Coach Joe Foley said. "Both teams knew what each other were going to do. They made a couple there at the end of the game and that's what it comes down to."
