The Lady Pilots (23-3, 22-1 in the RRAC) blasted visiting Our Lady of the Lake 100-31 as Selma Markisic had 17 points and 5 rebounds, on the heels of her 21-point outing Thursday night at home in a 91-65 blowout of Texas A&M-San Antonio. The Lady Pilots have won 18 in a row.

LSUS hosts LSUA Thursday night at 5:30 to open a doubleheader at The Dock wrapping up the regular season, and could win the title outright if Xavier stumbles in its finale.
