OKLAHOMA CITY – Fresh off a thrilling 98-90 double-overtime victory over No. 19-ranked John Brown University on Thursday (Jan. 7), the Mid-America Christian University Lady Evangels ran into a buzzsaw in the Wayland Baptist University Flying Queens and fell 100-50 today (Jan. 9) in Sooner Athletic Conference action inside the Gaulke Activity Center.

The Flying Queens wasted no time taking control, as a pair of threes by Shayla Monreal helped WBU score the first 15 points of the game and then 21 first-half points from Laura Castillo increased the lead to 51-22 at the break.

WBU continued where they left off out of the locker room with a 15-3 push to start the second half for a 66-25 lead and cruised from that point.

Alliyah Spatafora led the Lady Evangels with 11 points and Lindsey Mann had 10.  D'Shala Culberson had a team-high nine boards, following up her single-game record (as an NAIA school) of 20 on Thursday night.  Shakayla Love had nine points and eight boards for MACU.

Castillo finished with a game-high 26 points and hit 6-of-11 from three-point distance. The Flying Queens also got double-doubles from both Stephanie Afunugo (18 points, 11 rebounds) and Jane Jones (14 points, 11 rebounds).

 The Flying Queens also out-rebounded the Lady Evangels 55-38 overall, with a 48-20 edge in points in the paint.
