Ole Miss outscored Arkansas 10-2 to finish the half and take a 39-33 lead into the break. Ole Miss opened a nine point lead midway through the first period only to see the Lady `Backs storm back and take a brief two point lead on one of Washington's threes at the 3:46 mark in the opening period. The junior made 7-of-14 shots from beyond the arc and all six of her free throw attempts to set an Arkansas scoring record for SEC games. Ole Miss led for the majority of the game, but was never able to pull away from Arkansas thanks in large part to Dominique Washington netting 37 points for the Lady Razorbacks. Sophomore Jada Mincy and freshman Shawn Goff each tied career-highs with 13 and 11 points respectively. She got help on the scoreboard from sophomore Carla Bartee with 15 points and junior Ashley Awkward with 14. She also led Ole Miss on the boards with 11 caroms and in assists and steals with six a piece. Junior Armintie Price stole the show by tying a season-high with 24 points. The underclassmen paved the way for the three seniors to be victorious in their career home finale as five Lady Rebels posted double-figures, all underclassmen. This was an opportunity for them to do some things inside and they were able to find success.' They have played well at times this season only to see us lose. 'Our post players finally had a game where they were dominant and it turned into a win for us. 'We really needed this win,' said Ole Miss head coach Carol Ross. After being out-rebounded in consecutive road losses last week, Ole Miss (15-12, 5-9) turned the tables as they out-rebounded the Lady Razorbacks 50-44 on their way to a 48-22 advantage in points scored in the paint to secure a win in the final home game for Ellen Buchanan, Ashley Johnson and LaTanya Jones. Ole Miss controlled the paint taking an 85-78 win over Arkansas on 'Senior Day' Sunday in Tad Smith Coliseum.
