University of Arkansas junior C'eira Ricketts poured in 21 points and had eight rebounds leading the Razorbacks to a season-opening win over Florida A&M, 71-62, in Bud Walton Arena Friday. Ricketts was one shy of her career best and was one of three Razorbacks in double-digits. Arkansas opens the season 1-0, while Florida A&M is 0-1.
"I didn't feel like I had 21 points," Ricketts laughed after the game. "I felt off today but I just kept playing and trying to help the team."
The Razorbacks won the tip and took the opening drive down the court finishing with a jumper from sophomore Sarah Watkins to start the game. Watkins finished with 11 points and seven rebounds after giving Arkansas the first lead, a lead they would never surrender.
