Senior guard Holly Kersgieter led Kansas with 25 points and seven rebounds and senior center Taiyanna Jackson added 22 points with 10 rebounds and four blocks as the Jayhawks beat Arkansas 78-64 in the Great 8 of the WNIT on Sunday at at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.
Kansas (23-11) had doubled up the Razorbacks by halftime, leading 38-19. Arkansas (24-13) mounted a comeback attempt in the second half, but KU held firm at home.
“That was a tough game, a really fast game ...” said Kersgieter, KU’s three-time All-Big 12 guard. “I think our mindset is just getting better and better each game.”
Jackson’s 22-point, 10-rebound performance was her 21st double-double of the year.
Kansas had advanced to the WNIT quarterfinals with wins against Western Kentucky (86-72), Missouri (75-47) and Nebraska (64-55). Arkansas had beaten Louisiana Tech (69-45), Stephen F. Austin (60-37) and Texas Tech (71-66).
The Jayhawks will next play the winner of Sunday’s Oregon-Washington game in The Fab 4 for a spot in the WNIT’s championship game. The WNIT tle game is set for April 1 and will air on CBS.
