UCO Drops MIAA Opener With Pitt State

Central Oklahoma Led Early, Lost Control In 76-53 Loss At Hamilton

EDMOND – Central Oklahoma fought tough with No. 8 Pittsburg State Wednesday night in the first MIAA game of the season for the Bronchos, but a mid-game rally by the guests turned into an unfortunate finish and UCO lost 76-53.
 
UCO is 1-8 on the season following the loss and now 0-1 in league play. PSU improved to 7-1 on the year and 1-0 in the MIAA.
 
Central Oklahoma had the lead six different times in a back-and-forth first half, with both defenses flexing their strengths in the first 20 minutes. Pitt State used a 4-0 run to end the first half and gain a 29-27 advantage, then came out with an 8-0 run to start the second half and the Gorillas of Pittsburg, Kansas never looked back.
 
Pittsburg State pulled away, leading by eight going to the fourth quarter before the 23-point win.
 
Central Oklahoma shot just 29.7 percent from the floor, making 19 of 64 total shots. The Bronchos were 4-for-18 from behind the 3-point line and 11-for-14 from the free-throw line.
 
Talia Pogi and LaKysia Johnson led the way for the Bronchos. Both guards scored 15 points. Only four other Bronchos scored on Wednesday. Korie Allensworth added eight points, Gracee Miller scored six points, Karly Wadsworth chipped in five points, and Jordyn Turner added four.
 
UCO led 24-18 in the second quarter, its largest lead of the game.
 
Central Oklahoma continues a two-game homestand and MIAA opening week with Missouri Southern on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
