The OU women’s basketball team was back in action Tuesday night as it took on Oklahoma Christian University.

The Sooners were able to make it two wins in a row in dominant fashion as they went over the century mark and beat OC 109-55.

The Sooners started off to a slow start but were able to get through their shooting woes and pull out the victory.

In the first half the Sooners shot well from the field; however, they really struggled from behind the arc and at the free-throw line.

In the first half the Sooners attempted 20 three pointers and only made five, 25 percent. They also struggled from the free-throw line shooting only 27 percent in the first half.

“We saw a tale of two halves just like we did against Rogers State,” head coach Sherri Coale said. “This game though, we saw 40 minutes of unrelenting defense.”

The Sooners were still able to put up 52 points in the first half because of their stifling defense.

The Sooners forced 23 turnovers in the first half, and held OC to 38 percent shooting.

OU went into the break leading 52-28.

In the second half the Sooners were able to exercise the demons and turn around a forgettable shooting performance in the first half.

The Sooners started the second half making their first three point attempts, shooting 66 percent from downtown in the second half.

They also improved their free throw shooting to put the game out of reach.

One Sooner who stood out Tuesday night was senior center Abi Olajuwon.

Off the bench she finished with 17 points and six rebounds and was really a force in the low post, something that the Sooners lost with the graduation of Courtney and Ashley Paris.

Although she fouled out with seven minutes left to go in the game, she received a standing ovation for her impressive play.

“I just tried to get good angles and good position so I could do what I do,” Olajuwon said. “I just tried to focus on little things that I did against Rogers State, and applied them tonight against OC.”

Other top scorers for the Sooners were senior guard Nyeshia Stevenson with 17 points and junior guard Danielle Robinson with 15 points.

In fact, every Sooner played and every Sooner scored at least five points in the victory.

Junior forward Carlee Roethlisberger got her first start of the season last night.

Roethlisberger, who many thought would be the Sooners’ sixth man played well tonight in the starting five and finished with 10 points.

“We started with some small ball, and did well with it,” said Coale, “We rewarded people who did well in practice this week.”

The Sooners officially kick off the regular season at 7 p.m. Friday against Mercer.
