No. 20 Cowgirls Crush Sugar Bears

A Tribune staff, wire report

Published: December 23, 2007

STILLWATER, Okla. - Reserve Kristin Hernandez scored 20 points to lead No. 20 Oklahoma State to its most lopsided victory in program history, 107-36 over Central Arkansas on Saturday.

Oklahoma State (10-1) scored the first 13 points and never was challenged by Central Arkansas (2-9), a team that suited up only eight players. The Sugar Bears are in their second season in NCAA Division I.

The Cowgirls' previous most lopsided win was 112-56 against Tulsa on Feb. 25, 1978, and recorded their highest point total since a 109-56 rout of Nicholls State on Dec. 15, 1996.

Central Arkansas, a member of the Southland Conference, had its second-worst loss in program history two days ago, 121-48 at No. 9 Oklahoma. The only time Central Arkansas lost by a wider margin than in its games this week was on March 9, 1977, when the Sugar Bears fell 132-50 to Southeastern Louisiana.

Kia Lee scored 11 points to lead Central Arkansas, which committed 31 turnovers.

BAYLOR 81, ST. JOHN'S 58: Jessica Morrow scored a season-high 22 points to help No. 11 Baylor beat St. John's.
Danielle Wilson added 15 points for the Lady Bears (9-1), who improved to 93-3 under Coach Kim Mulkey when they score 80 points or more.

Tiina Sten and Kia Wright both scored 13 points to lead St. John's (8-4).

INDIANA 79, WEST VIRGINIA 66: Jamie Braun and Amber Jackson each scored 17 points and Indiana hit nine 3-pointers, nearly matching its season high, to beat No. 13 West Virginia.

It was Indiana's first victory over a Top 25 team since beating Kentucky on Nov. 12, 2006.
Meg Bulger and Chakhia Cole each scored 19 points for West Virginia (10-2), not enough to prevent the Mountaineers' seven-game winning streak from ending.

OHIO STATE 86, NEBRASKA 74: Marscilla Packer shot her way out of a slump with 23 points and No. 18 Ohio State (9-2) pulled away in the second half to beat Nebraska, ending the Cornhuskers' six-game winning streak.

Danielle Page scored 16 points for Nebraska (9-3), which had not lost since Nov. 24 against Creighton in the Oahu Classic.

VANDERBILT 92, LIPSCOMB 37: Christina Wirth scored 16 points to lead No. 21 Vanderbilt (9-3) to a victory over Lipscomb.

Lipscomb's point total was the lowest in school history. The Lady Bisons (2-10) shot only 23.5 percent from the field and were only 3-for-20 from behind the arc.

HARTFORD 54, MICHIGAN STATE 51: Danielle Hood scored 19 points to lead Hartford to a win.

Kalisha Keane had 20 points and 10 rebounds for No. 23 Michigan State (8-4).

FLORIDA 83, SAINT LOUIS 77: Depree Bowden tied her season high with 21 points and junior Sha Brooks collected her 1,000th career point in Florida's victory.

The Gators (7-4), who suited up just eight scholarship players because of injuries and illnesses, enter the holiday break on a three-game win streak, the program's longest since the 2005-06 season.
