SWOSU and Tucker Fall in National Title Game
An incredible run from Former Bartlesville High Lady Bruin Hailey Tucker and Southwestern Oklahoma State’s women came to an end on Friday evening, as SWOSU fell to Lubbock Christian 95-85 in double overtime in the National Championship for NCAA Division II basketball.
The Lady Bulldogs were on the verge of the title in the first OT, before Lubbock hit a last-second three-pointer to force double overtime. SWOSU led by three as time was running out, but Lubbock got multiple offensive rebounds and eventually tied it.
Lubbock would then sprint out to a double-digit lead in the second extra period, and that would be the ballgame.
Tucker was tremendous, as she has been her whole career. She scored 30-points in her final colligate game, she also grabbed 16 rebounds. Those were both team highs.
It is Lubbock Christian’s second national title in the last four years.
