Azaria Robinson Breaks 41-Year Old Rebounding Record in Little Rock Win

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Azaria Robinson took advantage of a cold shooting night by both teams and broke a 41-year old Little Rock record as she hauled in 22 total rebounds in the Trojans' 56-49 win over Philander Smith Tuesday evening.
 
Robinson's haul tops the 21 rebounds Kay Gathright grabbed on two separate occasions during the 1980-81 season – first against the College (now University) of the Ozarks and then against Philander Smith. She finished with her first career double-double as she led Little Rock (11-8) with 15 points. She grabbed 11 on the offensive side and 11 on the defensive boards.

Dariel Johnson had a notable performance herself, pouring in 10 points and 16 rebounds as she claimed her second career double-double and third consecutive game scoring in double figures. She also registered three blocks, totaling eight blocks for the senior over the past two games. Raziya Potter added 12 points.
 
The combined effort by Robinson and Johnson led a season-high 52 rebounds for the Trojans as Philander Smith (19-6) hit just 20 of 57 shot attempts (35.1%) in the game. Rakia Lane led all players with 20 points for the Panthers while De'Vena Smith scored 11.
 
Little Rock continues its unexpected three-game homestand on Saturday when the Trojans host Arkansas State at 2 p.m. Saturday's contest marks Homecoming for the university.
