Christian Brothers
scored 26 points in the first half,
while the Blossoms scored 24. Those
numbers reversed in the second half
to send the game into an extra
period.
From there, Bulter
took over with two three-pointers in
the first two minutes, followed by
six straight successful free throw
attempts.
Freshman of the year
candidate Erika Brown
(Shreveport, La.) scored her career
high of 25 points in the loss, which
was a game high as well. Brown also
grabbed nine rebounds.
Junior Andrea
Dubose (Hickory, Miss.) was the
only other Blossom to reach
double-digits with 10 points.
With the loss, the
Blossoms either need a win over
Southern Arkansas or a Henderson
State loss to No. 1 Delta State on
Saturday to receive a bid into the
Gulf South Conference Tournament
that starts next Wednesday, Mar. 5.
The Blossoms travel
to Magnolia on Saturday to take on
the Lady Muleriders for a 5:30 p.m.
tip-off. The game can be heard live
on the radio at KHBM-FM 93.7, which
will be streamed live through UAM’s
