The OU women’s basketball team is hitting the road this week and traveling to New York where it hope to improve on its current two game winning streak.

The Sooners are coming off an exciting overtime thriller over Arkansas that saw the Sooners come back from 16 points in the second half to force overtime and win the ball game.

Junior guard Danielle Robinson is coming off a career-high 31 points and the team looks to continue that success in the Big Apple.

The Sooners first game will be this Wednesday in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. when they will take on Marist College.

The team will have a quick turnaround as they will travel to West Point, N.Y. to play Army the following day.

This will be a good test for the Sooners who are currently 2-2 on the road this year. They have struggled when playing away from Lloyd Noble Center.

The team has now adjusted to playing without sophomore guard Whitney Hand and junior forward Carlee Roethlisberger has filled in nicely in the starting five.

The Sooners have been mixing and matching different lineups on the floor to adjust to Hand’s absence and has been successful in almost all of them.

Robinson, Roethlisberger and senior guard Nyeshia Stevenson have stepped up with big games to fill the void.

Since Hand has gone down, all three women have set new career highs in points; Roethlisberger with 29, Stevenson with 21 both against the University of Texas-Arlington and Robinson’s 31 against Arkansas.

If the Sooners can win on the road and on back-to-back nights it should give the team a boost of confidence moving forward.

After this road trip the Sooners will play one more game at home and one on the road before having to travel to Knoxville, Tenn. to take on one of women’s college basketball’s elite teams in the Lady Volunteers.

Teams that can win on the road are the teams that usually do well come tournament time, this week will be a nice test to see where the Sooners stand.
