BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- April Brown scored all 11 of her
second-half points during an 23-3 run as LSU beat Stephen F.
Austin 57-45 Sunday night to advance to the NCAA East Regional
semifinals.
LSU (24-6), which plays Western Kentucky or Duke next Saturday
at Richmond, Va., wiped out a nine-point halftime deficit,
outscoring Stephen F. Austin (28-4) by 35-14 in the second half.
Stephen F. Austin's Shawnta Johnson scored the first basket of
the second half to push the lead to double digits and Stephanie
Whitmore hit a short banker with 15:43 to play that made it 35-24.
But Katrina Hibbert, who also was held to two points in the
first half, hit a field goal on a fast-break opportunity to start
the big run.
Marie Ferdinand also had two baskets and two key steals during
the run and a jumper by Brown gave third-seeded LSU the lead at
36-35 with 11:14 remaining.
Brown finished with 13 points, DeTrina White 12, Ferdinand 11
and Hibbert 10.
Eleventh-seeded Stephen F. Austin, which connected on just 6 of
30 field-goal attempts in the second half, got 11 points from
Tekenisha Henry and 10 each from Johnson and Whitmore.
