FAYETTEVILLE — Four players in double figures and a great rebounding effort led Arkansas to a 67-41 win over Tulsa in Bud Walton Arena on Sunday.

Junior Malica Monk scored a game-high 14 points and graduate student Devin Cosper had her fifth double-double of the year with 11 points and 11 boards. Both players have scored in double figures in all 10 games for Arkansas (7-3) this season.

Sophomore Kiara Williams dropped in a career-best 13 points and had seven rebounds in 17 minutes. Sophomore Jailyn Mason finished with 11 points and has scored in double figures in five games, including four consecutive games, this year.

Arkansas jumped on Tulsa from the opening tip and finished the first quarter on an 8-0 run holding the Golden Hurricane scoreless for more than two minutes. That gave the Razorbacks a 21-12 lead after the first period and Arkansas never looked back. The Razorbacks had 16-6 rebounding advantage that they stretched to 61-39 by the end of the game.

The +26-rebounding advantage is the largest margin since the Razorbacks out-rebounded Grambling State by +37 in 2014.

Junior Keiryn Swenson tied her career-best with nine rebounds as did junior Bailey Zimmerman with seven boards. Freshman Taylah Thomas also had seven rebounds in the win.
