UCO Runs Past Lady Eagles

EDMOND (Nov. 15) – Lauren Chancellor nailed three 3-pointers during a devastating 19-0 first-quarter run that put Central Oklahoma in control and the unbeaten Bronchos went on to a 95-50 shellacking of Oklahoma Christian Thursday night at Hamilton Field House.
 
UCO made 14 treys in the game and all 10 players who saw action made at least one as Guy Hardaker's troops improved to 4-0 with an impressive romp over their near-by rivals in their only home game of the first semester.  It was the most lopsided outcome in the 37-game series between the two and the fifth straight win for the Bronchos in the rivalry.
 
The 45-point margin of victory was also the 12th best in school history.
 
"We did a great job of sharing the basketball and there's going to have nights when we shoot it like that," said Hardaker, whose team had 25 assists on 35 made baskets.  "We got off to a slow start, but really picked it up on both ends of the floor midway through the first quarter.  I like what we've done so far, but we still have a lot of work to do."
 
Madison Lee, Ireon Smith and McKenna Pulley scored 14 points apiece to lead another balanced attack, while Chancellor finished with 11.  Smith added a career-high 12 rebounds and Kaci Richardson had 10 as Central ended the night with a dominating 53-31 advantage on the boards.
 
Shatoya Bryson had another superb all-around outing, finishing with seven points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals.
 
The Bronchos harassed OC into 24.1-percent shooting (13-of-54) from the field, including a 17.8-percent effort (5-of-28) in the second half.  UCO has given up just 52.2 points a game in its 4-0 start.
 
The Lady Eagles jumped out to an early 10-4 lead in the contest, but it was all UCO after that.
 
Lee started the game-changing run innocently enough with a pair of free throws, Smith followed 30 seconds later with a three-point play and Chancellor's long bomb from the wing at the 3:28 mark put the Bronchos in front to stay at 12-10.
 
Smith continued the onslaught with a trey from the top of the key, Pulley drove in for a layup and then Chancellor knocked down two 3-pointers from the wing in a 28-second span to cap the spurt and put UCO on top 23-10.
 
It was still a 13-point advantage at 37-24 with 3:25 left in the second period before the Bronchos finished the half with a 10-1 run.  Layups by Brooke Rayner started and ended the spree that ended with the Bronchos taking a huge 47-25 lead into intermission.
 
That 22-point lead was as close as OC would get in the final two periods and Central ended the game with a 22-3 run to finish off the rout.
