Box Score OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 22, 2014) – After what Oklahoma Christian coach Stephanie Findley considered a subpar defensive performance in a home loss to Texas Wesleyan, the Lady Eagles spent the next day focusing on that part of their game.

The work showed on Saturday afternoon against USAO. OC recorded 20 steals against the Drovers and rolled to a 94-48 win in the Eagles' Nest.

Nine Lady Eagles recorded at least one steal and six of them had at least two. Senior guard Logan McKee led the way with four, to go with her 12 points and five assists. McKenzie Stanford had three steals, along with 16 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots as the Lady Eagles continually used their defense to spur their offense.

They also shared the ball well, recording assists on 20 of their 31 baskets. OC shot 47.7 percent (31 of 65) from the field.

"The 20 assists is a number you're really looking for, to see that you're sharing the ball and making the extra pass," Findley said. "We talked about those things – making the extra pass, making the extra effort. I thought you saw that in a lot of things we did today."

On defense, "if they didn't get a steal, they were getting deflections. … We felt really bad about the way we played defense against Texas Wesleyan, so we wanted to work on that and give a little more effort there. I thought the girls did a great job of coming out fired up and moving their feet and getting active hands in the passing lanes."

USAO led only once, at 2-0. OC then reeled off a 22-4 run, during which Stanford scored seven points. When Kaitlyn Morris swished a 3-pointer at the 10:18 mark of the first half, the Lady Eagles led 22-6.

The Drovers came no closer than 12 points the rest of the way. Two 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the first half by Emma Gade (who scored 10 points) built OC's lead to 39-23 by halftime.

McKee had three of her four 3-pointers during the first 4½ minutes of the first half (two on feeds from Daisha Gonzaque) and Morris had another as OC quickly built its advantage to 53-27 with 15:43 left.

During a 9½-minute stretch in the second half, OC limited USAO to just one basket as the Lady Eagles went on a 27-2 run that gave them an 87-39 lead with 3:36 left. The Lady Eagles led by as many as 50 points.

"This was a good chance to get the lid off the basket for some of our girls, because we're going to need them to contribute," Findley said.

The 46-point margin was OC's most lopsided win since a 48-point win over York (Neb.) in the 2013-14 season opener. The Lady Eagles scored their most points in a game since pouring in 95 in a win over Chaminade (Hawaii) last Nov. 29.

USAO had just one player reach double figures in scoring – WyKeena King, who had 10 points. The Drovers committed 30 turnovers and hit just 2-of-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent).

The Eagles moved to 53-29 all-time against USAO, an NAIA Division I program that once was OC's rival in the Sooner Athletic Conference. USAO (3-4) had declared before the game that it was counting it as an exhibition, so no loss will go on its record, although OC does receive credit for the win.

The Lady Eagles will have a quick turnaround for a home game Tuesday against NCAA Division II power Washburn (Kan.).
