LAFAYETTE, La. -- Josh Hagins scored 12 of his 18 points in the second half, and Arkansas-Little Rock maintained sole possession of first place in the Sun Belt Conference with a 68-64 win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday night.

Arkansas-Little Rock led 61-48 with 4:25 left, but Steven Wronkoski hit back-to-back 3-pointers to spark a 16-4 run that pulled the Ragin' Cajuns within one at 65-64.

The Trojans hit two free throws to make it a three-point game, and Hayward Register's 3-point attempt with 2 seconds left missed the mark.

Hagins was 7 of 11 from the field and hit all three of his 3-point attempts for Arkansas-Little Rock (22-3, 12-2), which bounced back after its six-game winning streak snapped with an 86-82 loss to Louisiana-Monroe on Thursday.

Johnathan Stove was 10 for 10 at the free-throw line and had 18 points for Louisiana-Lafayette (14-9, 10-4). Shawn Long added 12 points and 12 rebounds.
