LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Interstat) — Jordan Holman scored 29 points and the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans mounted a furious fourth-quarter comeback to stun the Morehead State Eagles 73-68 in a women’s NCAA Division I basketball game on Thursday night at Jack Stephens Center.

The Trojans, who trailed by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, outscored the Eagles 28-14 in the final period to erase a nine-point deficit and secure the victory. The win improved Arkansas-Little Rock to 15-14 on the season, while Morehead State fell to 18-13.

The game’s most pivotal sequence came in the final minute with the score tied. After Morehead State’s Laura Toffali knotted the game at 68 with a layup with 21 seconds remaining, the Trojans’ Blessing Teamer was fouled on the ensuing inbounds play. Teamer made the first free throw to put the Trojans ahead for good at 69-68 and, after a missed second attempt, Holman secured the critical defensive rebound and was fouled. She calmly sank both free throws with 27 seconds left to extend the lead to 70-68.

Morehead State’s final possession ended in a turnover, and Brenna Burk sealed the game with two more free throws for the Trojans with nine seconds left. Toffali added two free throws at the buzzer for the final margin.

The contest was a tale of two halves, defined by a dramatic shift in momentum. For three quarters, Morehead State controlled the pace, fueled by a spectacular performance from Toffali. The guard from Villasanta, Italy, poured in 32 points, including 15 in a dominant third quarter where the Eagles built their largest lead. Morehead State shot efficiently in the third, scoring 24 points to take a 54-45 advantage into the final break.

Kate Dike of Kyiv, Ukraine, provided strong interior support for the Eagles with 15 points, while Violet McNece of Chesterfield, Missouri, added 12 points and recorded five blocks.

Arkansas-Little Rock, however, refused to capitulate. The Trojans, who had struggled to find consistent offense outside of Holman for much of the night, unlocked their attack in the fourth. Holman, a guard from Hugo, Oklahoma, scored 11 of her 29 points in the final quarter, attacking the basket and drawing fouls. Her backcourt partner, Alaina Payne of Fort Worth, Texas, came alive with eight of her 10 points in the period, including a driving layup that gave the Trojans a 60-58 lead with 3:53 to play, their first advantage since the first quarter.

Destinee Salgado of Stafford, Virginia, was also instrumental in the comeback, scoring 13 points, with several key baskets down the stretch. The Trojans’ defense intensified, forcing eight Morehead State turnovers in the fourth quarter and limiting the Eagles to 5-of-14 shooting from the field in the period.

The game began as a tight, back-and-forth affair, with both teams scoring 17 points in the first quarter and 13 in the second, sending the teams to halftime tied at 30. Toffali and Holman traded blows early, but Morehead State’s third-quarter surge, highlighted by a 13-2 run, appeared to put the Eagles in command before the Trojans’ stunning final act.

Holman’s 29-point effort continued a string of strong performances, following games of 23, 22, and 15 points in her last three outings. For Morehead State, the loss spoiled Toffali’s heroic effort and marked a reversal from the teams’ previous meeting on Dec. 16, 2025, when Arkansas-Little Rock won 76-63 in Kentucky.

The Trojans, who were projected with a 59.2% probability to win by Interstat’s ELO system, will look to carry the momentum from this comeback into their next game against Southern Indiana on Saturday. Morehead State concludes its regular season.
