BATON ROUGE — Make it three straight triple-digit nights for No. 9 LSU. Mikaylah Williams scored 17 points and dished out eight assists, and six Tigers reached double figures as LSU rolled past McNeese 100-43 Tuesday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
LSU set the tone right away, scoring the game’s first 11 points with ZaKiyah Johnson accounting for six of them. The Tigers led 18-10 after one quarter and 48-26 at the half, then broke it open with a 17-5 run out of the locker room. LSU held the Cowgirls to just six points in the fourth quarter, and Williams capped the night fittingly with a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the 100th point.
Johnson finished with 14 points, MiLaysia Fulwiley added 13, freshman Lola Lampley had 11 and freshman Anna Minaeva scored 10. Senior Noa Morro made a big first impression in her LSU debut after working back from an offseason injury, scoring 12 points with two 3-pointers in 13 minutes. Jada Williams just missed a double-double with nine points, 12 rebounds and six assists.
The Tigers shot 36 of 65 from the floor, out-rebounded McNeese with 55 boards and handed out 25 assists. Valencia Fontenelle-Posson led McNeese (2-2) with 10 points.
LSU (3-0) hosts Denver on Friday, Nov. 13, at 6 p.m. at the Maravich Center on SEC Network+.
