Arkadelphia – The SAU Women's Basketball team, playing Henderson State for the second time in a week, led most of the way in Saturday's contest in Arkadelphia.

Ariana Guinn led all scorers with a career-high 21 points on 7-13 shooting from the field. The junior guard went 3-5 from three-point range and made all four of her free throw attempts. Her previous career high came on November 11^th, 2018 when Guinn scored 18 points in a win over Southeastern Baptist inside the W. T. Watson Center.

Diamond Morris and Kenzie Ezekiel joined Guinn in scoring double figures. Morris had 14 points while Ezekiel scored 11, shooting 3-5 from three. Ezekiel also dished out a team-high four assists while Guinn grabbed a team-high two steals.

Kisi Young led the Muleriders' effort on the glass with six rebounds, five of which were offensive; and Lillie Moore blocked a pair of shots in the paint for the Muleriders.
