First Quarter


From the outset, the Tigers set an aggressive tone with a strong start in the first quarter. Scoring 28 points while limiting Alabama State to just 6 points, LSU's defense was impenetrable. Amiya Joyner led this early charge with her impressive field goal percentage of 89 percent and contributed significantly on both ends of the court.


Second Quarter


Continuing their momentum into the second quarter, LSU added another 25 points to their tally. Meghan Yarnevich played a pivotal role during this period by maintaining defensive pressure and securing crucial rebounds that limited Alabama State's scoring opportunities.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw LSU further extend their lead by adding another 28 points. MiLaysia Fulwiley stood out with her remarkable playmaking skills, recording multiple assists that facilitated easy baskets for her teammates. Her defensive efforts were equally commendable as she racked up steals that disrupted Alabama State's rhythm.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter, LSU maintained their relentless pace by scoring another 28 points while allowing only 17 from Alabama State. Kate Koval emerged as a key player in this segment with her double-double performance of 23 points and 11 rebounds which sealed any comeback hopes for Alabama State.


Despite some spirited attempts from individual players like Jada Richard who managed several steals throughout different quarters, it was evident what went wrong for LSU Tigers' opponents: they could not match up against such cohesive team play and strategic execution from every Tiger on court.
