Fayetteville, Arkansas – Saylor Poffenbarger recorded her second consecutive double-double and Chrissy Carr scored 18 points as No. 21 Arkansas defeated Lamar 63-50 on Thursday night.
Redshirt freshman Poffenbarger, a UConn transfer, produced a career-high 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Razorbacks (11-0) continued their finest start since going 13-0 in 2013 by restricting the Cardinals (4-4) to 17 points in the second half. Samara Spencer added 17 points to the team total.
