The unranked Ole Miss Lady Rebels handed the No. 7 Scarlet Knights their first loss of the season, 67-57, Wednesday night behind the scoring of Armintie Price and Ashley Johnson. Both Price and Johnson rang up 22 points while teammate Ashley Awkward added 13 of her own.
The Lady Rebels led by as much as 13 in the second half but saw almost all of that lead disappear as the Knights pulled to within 3 points with just 3 minutes to play. The Rebels then went on an 8-1 run to open a 10-point lead at the 1:18 mark. They were 7-8 from the foul stripe in the final minute to put it away for good.
Cappie Poindexter led RU with 16 points.
Fouls played a big part in the game. RU was 10 for 15 from the free throw stripe while Ole Miss went 24 for 37.
Ole Miss is now 7-1 on the season while RU is 8-1.

The Lady Knights next play an exhibition against St. Thomas Aquinas at the RAC on Sunday, December 18 at 2:00 PM. RU’s next regular season game will also be at the RAC on December 30 at 7 PM against Texas.
