OKLAHOMA CITY -- The No. 8-ranked Oklahoma Baptist University Lady Bison built a big lead in the first half and never looked back in an 88-52 win over the Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels in Sooner Athletic Conference action today (Jan. 24) inside the Gaulke Activity Center.  

The Lady Bison extended a 16-point halftime lead to 24 three minutes into the second half and eventually ballooned the lead as high as 42 points on two occasions.   

Ashlee Ferguson started the game with a three before Raquel Dudzevich scored seven points to lead a run of 12 straight by the Lady Bison to make it 12-3. 

A trey by Lindsey Mann stopped the run but four consecutive points by Charity Fowler made it a 10-point game at the 13:13 mark. 

Following six straight from the Lady Evangels that brought MACU within 16-12, the Lady Bison capitalized at the charity stripe with eight made free throws that powered a 12-2 spurt and built the lead to 28-14 with 4:57 left in the half. 

A three-pointer by Arielle Cooper later gave the Lady Bison their largest lead of the half at 36-18 with 1:49 left when a three by Ferguson and a score inside by Alexia Kelley trimmed the lead to 13.  

But a foul with one second remaining in the half led to three free throws by Cameerah Graves that gave OBU a 39-23 lead at the break.  

Ferguson led the Lady Evangels (11-6, 4-4 SAC) with 11 points and Kelley scored seven with a game-high 10 rebounds. 

McKenzie Cooper led five Lady Bison (14-3, 6-2 SAC) in double-figure scoring with 19 points, followed by Fowler's 14 points.  Dudzevich and Lilia Inoubli each scored 13, with Dudzevich recording a team-high eight boards.  Marida Lewis chipped in with 12 points for OBU.  

The Lady Evangels will attempt to get back on a winning note by hosting USAO next Thursday evening (Jan. 29) at 6 p.m.
