Mizzou women’s basketball thrashes Arkansas for first SEC win

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

In one of their most impressive offensive performances of the season, head coach Kellie Harper and company secured their first conference victory, beating the Razorbacks 94-69.

"I'm so happy for our team. I'm really, really happy for our players," head coach Kellie Harper said. "You know, they've been through a pretty tough stretch, not just with losses on the court, but we've battled some injuries and we've had low numbers in practice for a few days, but our team had a really good outlook coming in. I thought they played with really good confidence and I'm proud of them for just handling what these last few weeks have been and letting it beat you down."
