Part 2/7:

Vanderbilt came into play having recently tasted victory in their first SEC matchup against Georgia but was looking for consistency after two subsequent losses. As the game unfolded, LSU quickly established its presence, with players like Michaela Williams and Camille Pierre demonstrating their scoring capabilities.

Early Momentum Shifts

Despite LSU's early lead, Vanderbilt, behind their duo of players, Michaela Blakes and Oliver, fought to regain control. It was evident that Vanderbilt's shooting rhythm and defensive execution would be critical in the first half. Cheyen Day-Wilson struggled initially, committing turnovers, including a critical moment where her pass was intercepted by Blakes.
