Jordan Horston and Rickea Jackson both had double-doubles and were two of five Tennessee players who scored in double figures, and the Lady Volunteers never trailed in an 87-67 Southeastern Conference win Thursday night at Arkansas.
Jackson had 25 points and 12 rebounds, while Horston had 15 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal. Tess Darby added 11 points and six rebounds, Jordan Walker had 10 points, six rebounds and four assists, and Jasmine Powell’s 10 points helped her reach 1,000 career points.
With the senior joining Horston, Jackson, Walker and Jasmine Franklin as current Lady Vols who have hit that milestone in college, the program for the first time has five 1,000-point scorers on the same roster, according to Tennessee’s sports information department. The 2014-15 team had four such players.
The Lady Vols (19-9, 11-2) won for the third time in four games, and they left little doubt about this one, leading 25-9 after the first quarter and 44-22 at halftime, then building a 29-point advantage in the fourth quarter.
Arkansas (19-9, 6-7) had three scorers in double figures — Erynn Barnum with 25 points, Chrissy Carr with 14 and Samara Spencer with 10 — but the Razorbacks were badly beaten on the glass as Tennessee finished with a 59-25 advantage in rebounds.
