FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A dominant 32-point third quarter helped propel the Arkansas women's basketball team to a 74-54 win Sunday over Mississippi State at Bud Walton Arena.

With the victory, the Hogs have won three of their past four games, improving to 13-6 overall and 3-3 in SEC play.

Samara Spencer led the way with a blistering shooting performance, going 5-for-8 from beyond the arc en route to a team-high 19 points.

The game was tied at 28 at halftime, and Mississippi State took a small two point lead early in the third quarter.

From there, Arkansas went on an 11-0 run with Spencer hitting three triples, all part of a period the Hogs won 32-17 to help them pull away.
