The Tigers' No. 4 finished with 16 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal, as the team scored its first victory over a ranked opponent this season.

The Wolfpack raced to a 7-2 lead within the first 100 seconds, before Flau'jae Johnson scored her first points of the game with a layup with 8:08 to go in the first quarter. Johnson kept them in the game, making a second-chance jumper with 7:06 to go and following up Mikaylah Williams' 3-pointer by ending a fast-break with a layup to bring the Tigers within one of the Wolfpack with 4:30 to go in the first quarter.

She converted the subsequent free throw to complete a three-point play and extend the Tigers' lead to 19.

While Johnson failed to score a 3-pointer, she went 5-for-7 from the field and was perfect from the free throw line on the night.
