ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Lani Snowden poured in a career-high 29 points and the Reddies dominated defensively on the way to a 103-47 victory over Bacone College.

Following a 3-pointer from Bacone and a media timeout, the Reddies resumed their full-court press which had Bacone searching for answers. Henderson State ended the opening frame on a 19-2 run and headed into the second quarter with a 35-7 lead. 2nd Quarter After shooting 61.9% from the field in the first, Henderson's offense came back down to earth as the Reddies finished the second quarter shooting just 30% on 6-of-20 attempts from the floor. HSU's defense however, continued to cause trouble on almost every Bacone possession, as the Warriors could not find any offensive rhythm. The Reddies took a 51-20 lead into the halftime break. 3rd Quarter The Reddies proved that good defense can be the best offense in the third, as their suffocating full-court press jumpstarted a 15-0 run that gave them their largest lead, 66-22.
