This win solidifies the Lady Badgers’ place at third in the conference, placing them in good standing with the playoffs coming soon.

Shots unable to fall, foul trouble and other problems plagued the Badgers, who gave up a three-point halftime lead on their way to suffering their first loss to Hope since the 2020-21 season.

Following a heartbreaking loss at home to Camden-Fairview where the Badgers lost in the final minutes, every player was ready for another chance to prove themselves, leading to stellar performances across the board for Arkadelphia.

Multiple scorers got involved for Arkadelphia on a night where the Lady Badgers’ fast offense led to multiple points in transition.

After a long week with Tuesday’s game being canceled, the Badgers brought their full might into this game and fell just short. 

The Lady Badgers will play again Monday night in Arkadelphia as they take on the De Queen Lady Leopards (8-4), who could not come into town for Tuesday’s game.
