Mulkey's bid to capture her fifth NCAA title is off to a perfect start, with the Tigers winning their first nine games this 2024-25 season. They showed their dominance in the win over the Eagles, who entered the contest with an abysmal 0-9 slate.
Mulkey's team came close to setting a new LSU record for most points scored in a single contest, dropping 131 in the wire-to-wire victory. The Tigers wreaked havoc in the second quarter, outscoring the Eagles 37-0 during that period to enter the break with a 63-18 advantage.
LSU locked down on defense, with N.C. Central missing all 12 of its field goal attempts. The Tigers continued to pile on the pressure in the second half, outscoring the Eagles by 42 points in the third and fourth quarters.
Nine players scored in double-figures for the Tigers, who improved to 7-0 at home. Flau'jae Johnson led the way for LSU, scoring 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting. She shot 3-of-4 from the 3-point area and made all three of her free throw attempts. Johnson also displayed her defensive prowess, recording four blocks and one steal in 21 minutes of action.
