EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - Arkansas shot 63 percent in the first half and went on to a 75-37 victory over SIUE in women's college basketball at the Vadalabene Center.

"I didn't think we were very sharp defensively in the first half. I was not happy with our response to mistakes. We didn't bounce back quickly like we normally do," said SIUE Head Coach Amanda Levens.

It was Senior Night for SIUE and not the storybook version of one either. Seniors Melia Duncan and Madison Meade were honored before the game, and the duo thanked their coaches, teammates, and fans for four solid years as Cougars.

The Cougars finish the regular season 18-11. After a third place finish in the Ohio Valley Conference, SIUE still hopes to gain a berth in a postseason tournament. Levens, the OVC Coach of the Year, said the Cougars will have to shoot better if a postseason game is in their future.

"We just need to play a lot better against such a quality opponent," said Levens.

Arkansas added to its NCAA Tournament resume with a road victory to close out the regular season. With a 23-8 record out of the SEC, the Razorbacks will await Selection Monday to find out where they head next.

SIUE shot 26.8 percent (15-56) from the field and made just 1 of 21 from three-point range.

"Just their length made us play a little bit faster. That is hard to simulate in practice," said Levens.

Raven Berry was the lone SIUE player in double figures with a game-high 13 points. Berry shot 5 of 11 from the field and hit all three of her free throw attempts.

Austin Tierny tied Berry for the team lead in rebounds with six, and the Cougar freshman scored nine points.

Arkansas' defense placed with strong backcourt pressure that left SIUE very little time on the shot clock to get quality shots every time down the floor. The Cougars didn't get into a rhythm, and Levens said missing some layups to set the tone didn't help either.

"We had a wide open layup to start the game, and we missed it. That shot has to go in," she said.

Keira Peak and Lyndsay Harris led the Razorbacks with 12 points each. Ashley Daniels added 11.

Arkansas scored the first seven points of the game and didn't stop there. The Razorbacks' lead grew to double digits for the first time at the 8:59 mark of the first half. Arkansas shot 17 of 27 from the field in the first half. Arkansas led 38-13 at halftime and continue to grow its lead throughout the game.

"We had a great opportunity to showcase our program. To have the game go this way, it's really disappointing," Levens said. "We play them again next year at their place. Our team needs to remember this game."
