For the second time in six days, the Arkansas-Pine Bluff women’s basketball team walked into a non-conference opponent’s trap and took over the trap.
This time, it was a big-time trap as the Golden Lions edged Southeastern Conference opponent Arkansas 74-70 Sunday afternoon. On Monday, UAPB defeated SMU 78-76.
