UCO Stumbles With Scorching Pitt State Squad

EDMOND – Central Oklahoma couldn't keep pace with a hot-shooting Pittsburg State team Saturday and lost 84-56 in the MIAA game at Hamilton Field House.
 
The Bronchos are now 7-10 on the season following the loss and 2-6 in the MIAA. UCO hits the road next week for games at Nebraska Kearney and at No. 6 Fort Hays State.
 
"The way the shot the ball today, they could've beaten anyone," UCO head women's coach Hannah Moeller said. "We didn't have it today and that coupled with their shooting was a bad combination. We need to just move on and get ready for the next one."
 
Central Oklahoma shot 30.9 percent from the floor, 22.7 percent from behind the 3-point line making 5 of 22 shots from deep and did go 9-for-11 at the free-throw line.
 
Pitt State was 49.2 percent overall and even better 51.9 percent from behind the 3-point line with a season-high 14 makes from deep. PSU went 8-for-11 at the line.
 
In the first quarter, Pitt was 4-for-10 from deep and then went 7-for-10 in the second quarter. The 11 first-half threes were nearly a season high for the visiting Gorillas.
 
Central Oklahoma trailed 8-0 in the opening minutes and 18-10 at the end of the opening quarter. It was 45-24 at halftime. Pitt kept on in the second half, making almost 70 percent of its shots in the third quarter to build a 70-41 lead heading to the final quarter.
 
Kaitlyn McCarn led the Bronchos with 11 points and a team-high six rebounds. Bobbie Fouquet had 10 points to give the Bronchos two in double figures. Jerney Bennet had eight points, three rebounds, and three blocked shots. Nykaiya Dillard scored eight and had four boards.
 
Talia Pogi and Olivia Quapaw both scored five points, Peyton Walker and Kendrick Bailey both scored three points, Madison Roberts added two and Harley Harbour scored one.
 
Central Oklahoma will hit the road for two MIAA games next week at Nebraska Kearney and at No. 6 Fort Hays State. The Bronchos are back home in two weeks and play Newman and Emporia State in Edmond on the final weekend of January.
