LAKE CHARLES, La. – Nunu Bradford added another 30-point game to her 2023-2024 season as the ULM women's basketball team secured a 73-67 victory over Milwaukee Thursday afternoon at the Legacy Center on the first day of the McNeese Multi-Team Event.
 
Bradford's final stat line included a career-high 33 points along with eight rebounds and four assists. Katlyn Manuel was the only other double-digit scorer for ULM with a career-high 23 points and nine rebounds. She also had three blocks in the game.
 
In the first quarter, two 3-pointers from Bradford put the Warhawks up 8-6. The Panthers used an 8-0 run to take a six-point lead. ULM used five points in the final 1:30 to narrow the gap to three at the end of one quarter.
 
With the score at 23-19 in favor of the Panthers midway through the second quarter, ULM scored five straight points to take the lead. Milwaukee set the lead back to four at 28-24, but a pair of free throws and two layups by Manuel and Olivia Knight gave the Warhawks a one-point halftime lead.
