Dungee played 39 of 40 minutes helping send seniors Malica Monk, Bailey Zimmerman, Raven Northcross-Baker, Sydney Stout and Keiryn Swenson out with a win. Sophomore A’Tyanna Gaulden added 12 points in the win while Alexis Tolefree and Jailyn Mason scored 10 points each for Arkansas (17-11, 6-8 SEC).
The win over Ole Miss (9-19, 3-11 SEC) moves Arkansas one step closer to a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament which takes place March 6-10 in Greenville, South Carolina.
Ole Miss came out of the gates strong looking to avenge a 30-point loss to the Razorbacks earlier this season. The teams played to an 18-all tie after the first 10 minutes and it was a two-point Arkansas advantage, 35-33, at the half.
The Lady Rebels came out after the break and tried to slow the pace of play, but Arkansas was able to outrebound Ole Miss 9-6 while going on an 8-0 run to open up the lead. Dungee had eight points in the third frame while Mason added six for Arkansas helping the Razorbacks lead by as much as 11 late in the period.
Arkansas stretched the advantage to 15 points with just over a minute remaining when head coach Mike Neighbors cleared the bench letting every Razorback play.
