In the women's game, the Lady Eagles kept pace with the Threshers. They led by one at the end of the first quarter, and trailed 34-30 at halftime.
OKWU made four three-pointers in the first half, including this one from Ashlyn Baker.
The Lady Eagles only scored 23 points in the second half, and got outscored 23-9 in the fourth quarter.
The loss drops the Lady Eagles to 4-7 overall and 1-6 in Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference play.
