Recapping Dungee’s big night leading Razorbacks past Missouri, 90-73

Published

on

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas got back into the win column on Sunday afternoon, beating Missouri, 90-73, in Bud Walton Arena.

The game snapped a seven-game losing streak for the Hogs against the Tigers, their first win in the series since 2016.

Redshirt junior guard Chelsea Dungee put on an incredible display against the Tigers, scoring a season-high 38 points, just three points shy of her career-best.

Dungee did it all for the Hogs, going 12-of-23 from the field, including four of eight from beyond the arc. She was also 10 of 15 from the free throw line.

Turning point

The Razorbacks got off to a slow start on Sunday, as the Tigers jumped out to a 18-6 lead in the first period.

With 2:16 left in the frame, though, the Hogs finally got going, using a 25-6 run that bridged the first and second quarters to get a lead they would never give back.

Dungee keyed the run, outscoring the Tigers 11-6 by herself during the spurt.

Redshirt junior guard Amber Ramirez scored eight points during the stretch, while Makayla Daniels, Taylah Thomas and A’Tyanna Gaulden each chipped in two points.
