Central Oklahoma Drops To 0-4 After 69-50 Loss At Southern Nazarene

BETHANY, Okla. – Central Oklahoma led an early third quarter run get away from them as the Bronchos suffered a 69-50 setback at Southern Nazarene Saturday afternoon.
 
The Bronchos dropped to 0-4 on the season following the non-conference loss. Southern Nazarene, playing its first home game of the season, improved to 4-0 with the win.
 
The game was tied once, at 3-3, and there were no lead changes as SNU powered its way past UCO for the fourth consecutive game. The Bronchos were 7-0 against the Crimson Storm until 2019, when SNU started what is now a four-game win streak.
 
Karly Wadsworth led the Bronchos on Saturday. The fourth-year junior guard caught fire in the second quarter, scoring eight straight points. She finished with 18 points on 7 of 13 shooting. She hit three 3-pointers and one free-throw. Wadsworth also had two rebounds and two steals.
 
Reagan Fox was UCO's second-leading scorer with nine points. The sophomore hit a 3-pointer that tied the game in the opening minutes, 3-3, and hit another shot from outside in the second half. Fox went 3-for-6 from the floor, 2-for-2 from behind the arc, and 1-for-2 from the free-throw line. She, like Wadsworth, also had two rebounds and two steals.
 
Gracee Miller, a true freshman, scored seven points. She had her own 5-0 run in the third quarter and finished the game 3-for-6 from the floor, including 1-for-2 from behind the arc. Miller also had three rebounds and one steal.
 
Natalie Stice added five points, Aspen Williston and Caley Young both scored four points, and Alexis Martin chipped in three.
 
Central Oklahoma went 20-for-63 from the floor on Saturday, a 31.7 percent rate. The Bronchos were 7-for-22 from behind the arc, 31.8 percent, and 3-for-8 from the free-throw line, a 37.5 percent mark.
 
Southern Nazarene got on the board with a free-throw in the first minute of the game and then led 3-0 moments later before Fox hit the first of her two 3-pointers. With the game tied, 3-3, SNU took a 5-3 lead with 7:25 to play in the opening quarter and never looked back.
 
The Bronchos trailed by as many as seven points in the first quarter, 13 points in the second quarter, 15 points in the third quarter, and 21 points in the fourth quarter.
 
UCO whittled down the 13-point deficit in the second quarter and got within one, 25-24, when Miller hit her 3-pointer with 2:23 left before halftime.
 
In the third quarter, SNU shot 64 percent from the floor as they pulled away from the Bronchos. UCO got as close as 10 points on two different occasions but couldn't chip away anymore. The Bronchos got within 11 in the fourth quarter.
 
Central Oklahoma has two more non-conference games on the schedule this season and both are next week. The Bronchos are hosting a Thanksgiving hoops festival at Hamilton Field House Tuesday, Nov. 21 and Wednesday, Nov. 22. UCO is scheduled to play Texas A&M International Tuesday at 4 p.m. and Oklahoma Christian Wednesday at 1 p.m. Southeastern Oklahoma State will also be in Edmond for the two-day affair and will play OC and TAMUI opposite of Central. The Bronchos begin their 22-game MIAA schedule after Thanksgiving.
