UCO Trips Up At Northeastern State

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – A fourth-quarter slump left Central Oklahoma in a spot they couldn't recover from and the Bronchos walked away with an 80-59 defeat at Northeastern State.
 
Peyton Walker hit the first of her two 3-pointers with 2:38 to play in the third quarter to make it 52-51, and NSU added a free-throw to push it 52-50 heading to the final 10 minutes. The Bronchos trailed by two points, but NSU outscored Central 28-9 in the final frame. A 7-2 start spurred the strong finish for the host Riverhawks, and a 12-0 run in the final four minutes spelled the end.
 
UCO dipped to 4-10 on the season with the loss and 3-2 in the MIAA, ending a three-game win streak in league play.
 
Korie Allensworth led the Bronchos with 19 points and Jordyn Turner added 12 to go with a team-high seven rebounds.
 
Walker, a freshman from Kingfisher, scored a season-high six points on 2-for-4 from behind the arc. The point guard added three assists, a steal, and a rebound.
 
Talia Pogi and LaKysia Johnson both scored nine points and Alexis Lewis added four to round out the scorers for UCO.
 
Central Oklahoma shot 35.2 percent from the floor Thursday night. The Bronchos made 19 of 54 total shots, 8 of 24 from behind the 3-point line, and 13 of 18 from the free-throw line.
 
Thursday's game started a four-game road swing for Central Oklahoma. The Bronchos play at new MIAA member Arkansas Fort Smith Saturday at 1 p.m.
