On the defensive side of the ball, Larrissa Williams pulls down a team-best 9.0 rebounds per game, while Johnson owns 20 blocks and freshman Tatum Beer has recorded 12 steals.
The Trojans return seven letterwinners, including three starters from last season's 21-10 team. This season, UALR owns a 3-2 record and is coming to town after tallying a 68-55 win over Missouri State in their last contest. Kim Sitzmann and Nikya Hughes lead the Trojans with 16.8 and 14.2 points per game, respectively, while Hughes owns a team-best 8.0 rebounds per game.
