BEAUMONT, Texas – On March 9, 2018, the Lamar University women's basketball team won its second straight Southland Conference regular season championship. The Cards defeated McNeese, 81-68, on senior day to win the championship as

This is the first time in program history the Cardinals have won back-to-back Championships.
With the win, Lamar improved to 24-5 on the season and 17-1 in SCL action and clinched the top seed in the upcoming Southland Conference Tournament. McNeese falls to 7-22 and 5-13 in SLC play. This is the second straight season Lamar has finished 17-1 in Southland Conference action.
"We are happy with the victory. We knew McNeese would come at us with everything they had," remarked head coach Robin Harmony. "Hats off to our senior class. I am glad we got to send them out on top. I am proud of the way our kids played and that we got the job done."
Kinard led the Cardinals with 34 points on the night. She hit six three-pointers in the win.
