Lead Gets Away from Women OKLAHOMA CITY – With 10:06 remaining, the University of Science and Arts’ women were cruising toward an upset win over No. 15 Oklahoma Christian Thursday night. But the OC women took control with a 23-10 run to end the game and handed the Drovers an 83-68 road loss. Led by 13 points from Nikki Yager, USAO looked poised for a season sweep of OC after a 71-67 win at home earlier in the season. Three 3-pointers from Lindsey Monroe helped the Drovers erase an early deficit and weather a near perfect storm of shooting from OC from 3-point-land. Down only three points at halftime, USAO eventually took the lead and pushed it to six points with 10 minutes remaining. Down the stretch, though, OC turned to post player Charlotte Heron. Heron scored eight points in the second half, but more importantly, she opened OC shooters Rachel Martin and Mackenzie Walker for open looks. Martin finished with 31 points and a perfect 5-for-5 from behind the arc. Walker scored 15 points on five 3-pointers including a couple of late daggers. Monroe finished with 12 points while Lamitra Daggs and Kartesha Rambo posted 10 points each. Sasha Ferguson and Sha’Donna Stewart scored eight points each. The USAO women fell to 13-10 overall and 6-7 in the league with Oklahoma City (19-5, 8-5) visiting the USAO Fieldhouse Saturday night beginning at 6 p.m. ### |
