FORT WORTH, TX: The Texas Wesleyan University women's basketball team (14-6, 5-3 SAC) took a 91-51 blowout win over University of Science and Arts (OK) (6-10, 3-5 SAC) at the Sid Richardson Center on Saturday.
Â
The Lady Rams took absolute control of the game from tip-off, ripping off an 18-0 run capped by an
Amy Easley three-pointer spanning over six minutes. It became a defensive struggle for a spell, as nearly four minutes past without either team scoring. The Drovers made it a 24-9 game on a Lauren Hart layup, but Wesleyan continued to dominate the half as a
Katelynn Threats lay-in made it a 28-9 game.
Â
The Rams extended the lead to 37-13 on another Easley triple, and continued to build up a gaudy lead after a
B'ria Wagner layup and a
Krissy Parker free throw for a 31-point, 44-13 lead. TWU went into halftime with a 44-17 advantage.
Â
The Lady Rams took a sizeable lead by shooting 50 percent from the field, and winning the points off turnover battle 21-0. The Drovers shot only 21 percent from the field and committed 16 turnovers.
Â
Texas Wesleyan continued their dominance in the second half, taking a 56-19 lead on a
Carneisha Sims layup five minutes in. The Drovers had no answer for any Ram combination head coach
Bill Franey put on the floor.
Tiffany Mitchell hit a triple to make it 59-24, while
Caitlin Boal hit a pair of long two-point shots to make it 67-33 midway through the second half.
Â
Parker threw in a layup later in the half for a 44-point, 77-33 advantage the largest of the night.
Angela Nguyen got in on the action with back-to-back jumpers from downtown and
Lorian Benjamin slashed through the lane for a layup, as the Rams cruised to a 91-51 win.
Â
Five Lady Rams hit double digits in the contest. Easley led all players with 14 points, adding five assists in the win.
Onyesonam Nolisa posted another double-double behind 12 points and 11 boards, while grabbing four assists and four steals. Parker had 11 points and eight rebounds. Threats went 5 of 7 for 12 points in the game.
Caitlin Boal got 10 points in the win.
Â
The Lady Rams will look to continue their dominance in a meeting with Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, TX. That game is set for Thursday, November 29 starting at 6:00 pm.
