From the opening tip-off, the LSU Lady Tigers set an aggressive pace that would continue throughout all four quarters. They opened with a solid lead in the first quarter and by halftime had nearly doubled their opponent's score. The second quarter was particularly notable as they racked up an astonishing 37 points, showcasing their offensive capabilities.
The Lady Tigers' offense was relentless, shooting an efficient 55 percent from two-point range and maintaining a near fifty percent field goal rate overall. Their prowess in scoring was matched by their dominance on defense; they tallied seven blocks and eighteen steals over the course of the game. This defensive pressure contributed to a staggering number of turnovers for Northwestern State who struggled with twenty-eight lost possessions.
Notably, LSU excelled in capitalizing on these turnovers, scoring thirty-six points off them which significantly contributed to their large margin of victory.

Northwestern State did manage some resistance despite being overwhelmed by LSU’s intensity. They were able to make five three-pointers and fought hard for personal rebounds totaling twenty-two but were ultimately unable to keep pace with LSU’s scoring runs or counteract their high-pressure defense effectively.
