CONWAY — In the final home game for Central Arkansas seniors Brittany Agee and Terai Sadler, it was sophomore Brianna Mullins who stole the show – finishing with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists to record the first triple-double of the program's Division I era as the Sugar Bears defeated Southeastern Louisiana 73-57 in the Farris Center.

Mullins' triple-double is just the 12th in program history and the first since Carone Harris had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals on Dec. 30, 2004. It is the first in the Southland Conference this season, 6th in conference history and just the 17th in all of Division I in 2014-15.

Her 14 assists is the program's Division I record and the most for any Sugar Bear since 1996. It ties for the 11th-highest total in a Division I game this season and 9th in Southland history.

"I'm so proud of this team and thought we played extremely hard today," said UCA head coach Sandra Rushing, whose team improves to 17-11 overall and 10-6 in Southland play. "Bri Mullins … what can you say about her? We're a different team when she's not in the game. I appreciate the heart and passion for the game she has. She's so consistent day-in, day-out. She comes in, never gives us any problems, and does things the right way. Very proud of her tonight."

Agee and Sadler, playing their last game in the Farris Center, combined for 22 points and 10 rebounds with Sadler going for 12 points and 5 rebounds and Agee adding 10 and 5.  Kendara Watts had 16 points for the Sugar Bears.
 

"I thought Agee and T had a great game for their last home game," Rushing said. "You want your seniors playing their best basketball at the end, and I think they're doing that right now. Kendara had a nice game for us, and I thought Angel Williams and Taisiya Novokreschenova played their roles well. We're not asking them to score, but they're doing the things we're asking them to do and that's important."

The Sugar Bears led for more than 39 minutes, and the Lady Lions (7-20, 3-13) never led as UCA held SLU to 37.5 percent shooting and out-rebounded the Lady Lions 39-31. Southeastern was led by Nanna Pool, who had 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Peaches Anderson who added 14 points.

With the win, coupled with Nicholls defeating McNeese State, the Sugar Bears are in a three-way tie for 4th place with the Cowgirls and Northwestern State, a half game behind Nicholls at 10-5. The Sugar Bears wrap up the regular season on the road next week at Nicholls and McNeese before the Southland Conference Tournament in Katy, Texas March 11-15.
