Mikaylah Williams led No. 5 LSU with 19 points as the Tigers struggled for almost three quarters before pulling away for an 87-61 win against Louisiana Tech in the Compete 4 Cause Classic.

NEW ORLEANS – For just the second time in her head coaching career, LSU coach Kim Mulkey was on the other bench from her alma mater, where the fifth-ranked Tigers downed the Lady Techsters, 87-61, in the Compete 4 Cause Classic at the New Orleans Pelicans Smoothie King Center.

The Lady Techsters were a national power under legendary coaches Sonja Hogg and Leon Barmore. Hogg guided them to a pair of national championships and more than 300 wins across nine seasons, then turned the program over to Barmore, who led them to another national title and 11 30-win campaigns. Hogg and Barmore were co-head coaches from 1982-85.
