Makayla Daniels went for a career-high 32 points against the Golden Bears. Daniels 11 of her 15 shots, while also making four of her six long balls.

The junior guard put up the first 30 point game by a Hog since Amber Ramirez hung 35 on Alabama last season.

Turning point

The Golden Bears’ defense came out of the gates hot, forcing eight Razorback turnovers in the first 10 minutes and securing a three-point lead.

It was in the second quarter that Daniels made her move. The third-year guard scored 16 points in the second frame, going a perfect 5-5 shooting with two shots from deep and 4-4 on free throws.

The big second quarter gave Arkansas a seven-point advantage at halftime.

With Daniels picking apart Cal’s defense, the Razorbacks settled in, giving up just three turnovers in the second half as opposed to the 12 they committed in the first half.

Daniels poured in 14 more points in the final 20 minutes and got some help from Erynn Barnum and Sasha Goforth who combined for 16 points in the second half. Arkansas outscored Cal, 44-34, in the second half and got back in the win column.
