Winning Ways Continue for Women CHICKASHA – Every Drover on the roster scored in Friday night’s route of Mid-America Christian 94-67 as the University of Science and Arts improved to 7-1 on the season with its third straight win. Scoring wasn’t a problem for either team with eight players in double figures and each team shooting well over 40 percent from the field. But the Drovers’ defense caused 21 turnovers and blocked nine shots as USAO jumped ahead early and cruised through the second half. Lindsey Monroe led all scorers with 19 points. Stephanie Russell made up for some first-half misses by knocking down four three-pointers in second half to post 14 points. Russell also pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds and dished out six assists. Katie Sterling and Christina Brown rounded out the list of double-figure scorers with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Desiree Jones added some second-half excitement and seniors Nikki Yager and Nicole Sherman controlled the paint. Jones, a speedy freshman from Tulsa, played 19 minutes scoring six points to go along with nine assists – the highest total of the season for any Drover. Yager and Sherman scored nine points and had three blocked shots each. MACU was led offensively by Courtney Sorrels’ 18 points and 10 rebounds. Treasure McCoy posted 15 points and 11 rebounds as the Evangels dropped to 4-6 after the team’s second loss of the season to USAO. USAO has almost a month off before playing its final non-conference game of the season at home Dec. 30 against Tabor College, Kan. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ### |
