No. 9 LSU cruised to a 131-22 win over Texas Southern on Thursday night, the largest victory in women's Division I history against a Division I opponent. LSU's 109-point margin surpassed Baylor's 140-32 rout over Winthrop on Dec. 15, 2016. That Baylor team was led by current LSU coach Kim Mulkey.
The Lady Tigers went on a 50-0 run during the second and third quarters Thursday, the largest by any team against a Division I opponent since Mulkey took over LSU in 2021-22. Jada Williams, a transfer from Iowa State, scored 18 points and was among a group of seven players who scored in double figures. Freshman Anna Minaeva scored 21 points, Mikaylah Williams added 20 points, Za Kiyah Johnson 17, Grace Knox and Mi Laysia Fulwiley contributed 15 each and Lola Lampley finished with 10.
LSU presented flowers to former All-American Angel Reese, who helped the Lady Tigers to their first national championship in 2022. Reese was this year's WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and was part of the Atlanta Dream's first appearance in the WNBA championship series. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
