The OU women’s basketball team gave fans a sneak peek last night as they defeated the Rogers State Hillcats 94-53 at the Lloyd Noble Center.

The No. 13 Sooners came out and did exactly what they were supposed to do and that was to dominate.

“I was really pleased tonight,” head coach Sherri Coalesaid. “We were relentless in our attack. We shot well and didn’t turn the ball over that much.”

Rogers State never stood much of a chance.

The Sooners started the game on a 13-2 run and never looked back. The Sooners had an overpowering half court trap that Rogers State just could not break. The Sooners were able to force 15 turnovers in the first half alone and 24 for the game.

By the end of the first half it was not official, but it was over. The Sooners led Rogers State 62-24 at halftime.

As for scoring, it was the usual suspects for the Sooners. Sophomore guard Whitney Hand and senior guard Nyeshia Stevenson put up big numbers. In the first half Stevenson and Hand combined for 41 of the Sooners 62 points.

Stevenson finished the game with 19 points as Hand led all scorers with 27 points. Overall the Sooners shot the lights out, shooting 50 percent from both the field and the three-point line.

“It has been so ingrained in our heads to shoot the ball, that’s what coach told me before the game.” Hand said. “We understand that it is mine and Nyeshia’s role so that’s what we do.”

Other Sooners played well besides just Hand and Stevenson. A couple of Sooners almost recorded double-doubles, but came up just short. Junior guard Danielle Robinson finished with 8 points and 11 assists, ten helpers in the first half alone. Senior forward Amanda Thompson closed with nine points and eight rebounds. Junior forward Carlee Roethlisberger also had a solid contribution adding eight points and four rebounds.

The Sooners look to continue the winning ways next week when they face Oklahoma Christian University Nov. 10 at the Lloyd Noble Center.
