"It seemed there was a lid on the basket tonight," Head Coach Josh Lind said. "We let them dominate us on the boards, which led to second chance points and it is hard to win in this conference when you give up that many rebounds."

MACU went into the locker room down 37-20 at halftime.

The Lady Evangels rallied early in the second half and cut the lead to single digits, but the Lady Drovers stretched their lead back to double digits and held on for the win.

The Lady Evangels fall to 3-10, and 0-5 in Sooner Athletic Conference play.
