Lady Eagles break record in blowout win

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Dec. 11, 2009) – The Oklahoma Christian Lady Eagles had no problem blowing past a Paul Quinn College women’s team that had no subs on Friday night. The Lady Eagles left the night with a 96-50 win.

Roz Hamilton and Lisa Chenoweth got things rolling for the Lady Eagles draining two consecutive baskets with Chenoweth hitting a three to put up a five-point lead. Moments later, Chenoweth hit a second trey leaving OC with a seven-point lead over the Lady Tigers.

The Lady Eagles shot 46 percent in the first half with impressive 50 percent accuracy from behind the arc. Oklahoma Christian put up 45 points to Paul Quinn’s 20 during the first period with a largest lead of 29 points.

The second half saw an array of scorers with the entire bench seeing game time. Never allowing Paul Quinn within 25 points, the Lady Eagles went on a scoring spree with seven different players hitting a three-point basket and maintaining 44 percent accuracy from three-point range throughout the game.

The Lady Eagles broke a nearly nine-year-old record of most threes in a game by draining 17 from behind the arc. The previous record for the OC women was 14 three pointers scored against John Brown University (Ark.) on Jan. 25, 2001.

Katy Clift led the Lady Eagles’ scoring hitting four for four from behind the arc for 12 points on the night. Brittney Kennedy continued to score down low for the Lady Eagles putting up 10 points. Lindsay McCown also helped control the paint pulling down nine rebounds and scoring nine points.

Roz Hamilton continued to help the Lady Eagles posses the ball with eight rebounds in addition to her six points during the game. Hillary Duncan put up eight points nailing two from three-point range.

Nearly every player scored for the Lady Eagles on Friday night in the 96-50 victory over the Lady Tigers. The win advances the OC women to a 9-2 season.

The Lady Eagles will turn around to join the men’s team in a double header on Saturday. The women will play Oklahoma Wesleyan University at 2 p.m. followed by the men who will take on Southwestern Christian University (Okla.) at 4 p.m.
