Sugar Bears Battle Warhawks in Monday Night Road Game

CONWAY, Ark. – The Central Arkansas women's basketball team remains on the road for the next one, heading down to Monroe, Louisiana to face the ULM Warhawks Monday night. Tip-off in Monroe is set for 6:30 p.m.
 
The Bears (1-1) dropped its first Power 4 matchup last time out, falling at Baylor on Thursday. Laylah Reese dropped a second-straight double-digit scoring output to start the season, posting ten points and seven rebounds against the Bears in Waco.
 
Reese leads the team in scoring and rebounding through two games, averaging 14.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. The Sugar Bears have been extremely balanced on the offensive side of the ball, with eight players averaging between 4.5 and 6.5 points, with Reese and Tiani Ellison (10.0 ppg) averaging double-figures. The depth of potential scorers gives Central Arkansas an opportunity to have anybody be the primary scorer on any given night, taking pressure off of any one player to shoulder too much weight offensively.
 
ULM started its season with a 1-1 first week as well, dropping its opener at Ohio before hosting and defeating Centenary. The 80-point win over Centenary (106-26) saw the Warhawks force 49 turnovers and turn those into 71 points. Aiyanna Culver scored 35 points off the bench, connecting on eight three-pointers in 28 minutes.
 
Tip-off against ULM is set for 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The game will be streamed on ESPN+, with live stats available. Fans can also catch the action on 91.3 the Bear, with Steve Owens on the call.
