THE RUNDOWN

Ouachita Baptist women's basketball picked up its second straight win Monday night, outlasting Henderson State 69-66 at the Duke Wells Center. Makayla Miller led the Tigers with 19 points, and defending Great American Conference Player of the Week Eden Crow recorded her second straight double-double with 17 points and a career-high-tying 16 rebounds. 

The Tigers started fast, leading 22-18 after the first quarter and building a lead as large as 15 in the second. Henderson State battled back and regained the lead in the third, but Lauren Wright's three-pointer with 1:06 left in the quarter put her team back on top.

The fourth quarter saw three ties and eight lead changes, with Ouachita taking the lead for good with 24 seconds remaining as Maija Gertsone sank a pair of free throws.
