Brooke Walter poured in 17 points for LP (1-0 overall, 1-0 SEC) and Abby Bollingberg added 14 points.

“We looked good. I think a lot of curious of how we were going to look this year after losing the top two scorers in LP history, but we had a lot of balance and we think we have a chance to be a pretty special team again,” LP head coach Justin Morris said.
