Women Rolling with Third Straight WinCHICKASHA – Collecting its first win of the year over a ranked team, the University of Science and Arts stunned No. 22 Lubbock Christian 70-59 Saturday afternoon inside the USAO Fieldhouse. Winning its third straight, USAO improves to 12-8 on the season and 5-6 in the Sooner Athletic Conference with No. 24 Oklahoma Baptist coming to town Thursday for a 6 p.m. game. Even with a win over OBU, USAO would still trail in the SAC standings. But a season split could be important down the stretch since OBU won the first matchup. Saturday, USAO dominated the Lady Chaps (14-8, 8-4) holding them to only 19 percent shooting and four field goals well into the final stages of the first half. Ahead by 19 points early in the second half, LCU learned why Katie Sterling is one of the most valuable players in the league and the Drovers shouldn’t be taken lightly. The senior from New Orleans poured in 20 points on 6-of-14 shooting and added five rebounds, four steals and seven assists in 32 minutes of play. Junior Lindsey Monroe hit two three pointers to finish with 15 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. Christina Brown’s three three-pointes helped USAO establish its largest lead of the game as she finished with 13 points and four rebounds. ### |
