Junior guard Angel Baker scored 26 points and pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds to lead 13-seeded Wright State to a 66-62 upset over fourth-seeded Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA women’s tournament Monday in Austin, Texas.
The Raiders (19-7) built leads of 20-12 after one quarter and 38-26 after two on the way to their first tourney win in their third appearance.
They still led by 11 early in the fourth quarter, but the Razorbacks (19-9) kept chipping away.
Third-team All-American Chelsea Dungee hit a 3-pointer with 1:50 to go for a 59-58 lead.

But Alexis Stover hit a 3 for the Raiders, and Baker buried a trey with 29.1 seconds left for a 64-62 lead.
They’ll play either No. 5 Missouri State or No. 12 UC Davis in the second round Wednesday at a time and site to be determined. Those teams meet in a first-round game Monday night.
