BATON ROUGE, La. (Interstat) — The LSU women’s basketball team delivered a commanding performance Wednesday night, overwhelming the Charlotte 49ers 117-59 in a non-conference matchup at a raucous Maravich Assembly Center.

From the opening tip, the Tigers’ offensive firepower was on full display. LSU erupted for 36 points in the first quarter, establishing a 24-point lead that would only grow as the game progressed. Charlotte struggled to find any offensive rhythm against the Tigers’ relentless pressure, mustering just five points in the second quarter as LSU built an insurmountable 62-17 halftime advantage.

The Tigers’ victory was a showcase of depth and efficiency. Six players scored in double figures, led by Mikaylah Williams with 18 points and six rebounds. MiLaysia Fulwiley provided a dynamic spark off the bench, pouring in a game-high 22 points in just 16 minutes of action. Flau’jae Johnson added 16 points and five rebounds, while Amiya Joyner scored 15.

The interior was dominated by LSU’s post players. Kate Koval recorded a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds, and Grace Knox contributed 10 points and five rebounds. ZaKiyah Johnson just missed a double-double herself, finishing with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Charlotte, which fell to 2-2 with the loss, was led by Princess Anderson, who scored a team-high 27 points. Despite Anderson’s effort, the 49ers were plagued by poor shooting, connecting on just 19 of 69 attempts from the floor and 4 of 30 from three-point range. They also committed 21 turnovers, which LSU converted into 34 points.

In contrast, LSU shot an efficient 49 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc. The Tigers also capitalized on their trips to the free-throw line, making 37 of 46 attempts. Defensively, LSU registered 10 steals and six blocks, stifling Charlotte’s offensive sets throughout the night.

The announced attendance of 9,348 watched as LSU improved its record to a perfect 4-0. The Tigers have now won their first four games by an average margin of 53.5 points. Charlotte, coming off a narrow road victory over UCF, could not replicate that defensive intensity against the nation’s top-ranked offense.

LSU next travels to face Tulane on Monday. Charlotte looks to rebound quickly as it continues a road swing at California on Saturday.
