Box Score OKLAHOMA CITY (Feb. 6, 2016) – When they're shooting well, the Oklahoma Christian Lady Eagles are difficult to beat, and with
Sarah Parker showing the way against Oklahoma Panhandle State on Saturday afternoon, OC wasn't really challenged much.
Parker scored 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting and OC connected on 50 percent (33 of 66) of its shots while cruising to a 94-58 win over the Aggies in the Eagles' Nest. OC (11-12, 8-5 Heartland Conference) moved into a tie for fourth in a tight league race, one game behind Arkansas-Fort Smith and Texas A&M International.
Parker, a junior forward from Piedmont, was particularly impressive, hitting all three of her 3-point attempts and going 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. OC shot 11-of-18 (61.1 percent) from 3-point range and 17-of-20 (85 percent) from the line as a team while recording its eighth straight win over Panhandle State (1-19, 0-12) since joining the Heartland Conference with the 2012-13 season.
It took a little while for OC to put away the Aggies. The Lady Eagles didn't take the lead for good until
Daisha Gonzaque's 3-pointer at the 2:35 mark of the first quarter made it 15-13. OC led 22-18 after the first quarter, but outscored the Aggies 27-10 in the second quarter to go up 49-28 at halftime.
The Lady Eagles spent the rest of the game continuing to build on their lead, with it peaking at 38 points late in the fourth quarter.
Addy Clift had 13 points and
McKenzie Stanford added 10 for OC. Fifteen of OC's 17 players got on the scoreboard.
Aisha Martin (4-of-4, eight points) and
Emma Gade (3-of-3, eight points) didn't miss a shot, with two of Gade's baskets from 3-point range.
Sydney Hill added six assists and six rebounds to go with her seven points.
Tatyana Bell was the only Panhandle State player to reach double figures, with 21 points. The Aggies shot just 28.4 percent (19 of 67) from the field.
OC will return to action on Thursday, when it will host Newman (Kan.).
