Missouri women’s basketball took on Southeastern Conference rival Arkansas on the road in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

In a nail-biter of a game, Missouri won 75-73 to grab its third conference win of the season.

The game was competitive throughout, and it came down to the very end.

With 14 seconds remaining, Missouri junior Ashton Judd committed a foul to send Arkansas to the free throw line. Arkansas freshman Phoenix Stotijn drilled the ensuing shot, propelling Arkansas to a 73-72 lead.

Judd was fouled right back with 7 seconds left, and her free throw tied the game at 73 points. With 2 seconds left, senior Laniah Randle hit a driving layup to clinch Missouri’s win.

The final period of play was similar to the third, where both teams were fighting and keeping it close. The Tigers tied the game up on two occasions and took the lead three times. The third time occurred with 1:07 left in the frame.

Arkansas responded to Missouri’s late rally in the third period by taking a slim 49-48 lead with 35 seconds left to close the third quarter.

Trailing by just one point was a positive sign for the Tigers, as they faced bigger deficits earlier in the game.

Missouri entered the halftime break trailing 35-31. Junior Tilda Sjokvist hit a jumper as time expired to put the Tigers within 4 points.

Sjokvist scored 4 points in the first half, behind Judd’s 5 and sophomore Grace Salughter’s 7.

Randle came alive late in the game, as she led the Tigers in points by the end with 20. Sjokvist and Slaughter followed with 13 points each.

The Tigers will face Vanderbilt at 2 p.m. Sunday in Columbia, Missouri. That will be the final game before the SEC Tournament.
