“The girls played their hearts out,” Arkansas State assistant coach Deidra Johnson said. “When you come into a tough environment like this and hold Georgia Southern to 52 points is an impressive defensive effort. We got on the floor and hustled on defense and created points for ourselves by creating 19 turnovers and turning those into 25 points. That’s a big accomplishment when you are playing a team for the second time in a conference season because they are much more familiar with that you are going to do defensively.
