NEW ORLEANS (Interstat) — Jordan Marshall made two decisive free throws with less than a second remaining to lift Louisiana Tech to an 82-80 win over South Alabama in a nonconference women’s basketball game Thursday night at Smoothie King Center.

Alexia Weaver scored a game-high 27 points for the Lady Techsters, who survived a 29-point fourth-quarter surge by the Jaguars. Amyah Sutton led South Alabama with 23 points.

Louisiana Tech, which improved to 4-3, capitalized at the free-throw line, making 26 of 31 attempts. South Alabama (6-2) shot just 10 of 17 from the line and committed 19 turnovers. The Jaguars led by as many as nine points in the first half before the Lady Techsters mounted their comeback.
