WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Kinard hits 29, Barrs nears quad-double in Cards’ road win
Published 9:51 pm Wednesday, January 9, 2019
Moe Kinard scored 29 points Wednesday, but that was not the most impressive statistic for the Lamar women’s basketball team.
Chastadie Barrs was one assist away from a quadruple-double, as she and Kinard led Lamar to a 79-57 win at the University of New Orleans on Wednesday. Barrs totaled 17 points, 12 steals, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
Lamar (10-4, 3-0 Southland), the defending regular-season conference champion, hardly had this game in doubt, leading 20-9 through one quarter, 41-29 at halftime and 58-44 through three. The Cards shot 30 for 68 from the floor, including a dismal 4 for 27 from three-point range, and made 15 of 24 free throws.
Kinard made 12 of 24 from the field (2 for 13 from outside) and 3 for 4 at the line. Barrs went 4 for 9 from the floor and 8 for 13 from the line.
Rehema Franklin led UNO (4-8, 0-3) with 12 points and Shania Woods added 11.
Lamar will host Central Arkansas at 2 p.m. Saturday.
