Stars stampede to 91-65 win over Texas Wesleyan

Seventh-ranked OCU nails season-high 12 3-pointers

FORT WORTH, Texas – Oklahoma City University trounced Texas Wesleyan 91-65 on Saturday at the Sid Richardson Center.
Daniela Galindo spearheaded OCU's effort with 23 points. The Stars, ranked seventh in NAIA Division I women's basketball, improved to 16-2, 7-1 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
Galindo, a junior from Shattuck, Okla., sank 5 of 9 3-point shots and added four assists and three steals. Daniela Wallen, a senior from Caracas, Venezuela, supplied OCU with 21 points and a career high-tying eight steals, while Janae Haag, a senior from Olpe, Kan., delivered 12 points, four rebounds and a career-best six assists on 5-for-5 shooting from the field.   
NaShyla Hammons, a freshman from Oklahoma City, produced 11 points, seven rebounds and three 3-pointers, and Alexis Hill, a junior from Byng, Okla., registered nine points, six rebounds and two steals while hitting all four of her field-goal tries for the Stars. Mariana Duran, a senior from Yaracuy, Venezuela, handed out six assists for Oklahoma City.
The Stars dropped in a season-high 12 treys on 24 tries. OCU posted a 55.9 percent field-goal percentage to shot 55 percent or better from the floor for the sixth time this season.
"We have been talking about our focus at the beginning of games on the road," OCU coach Bo Overton said. "It was a great job by our players today. We were able to get stops and make some shots early. It was a good road win against a very physical team."
Galindo nailed a 3 and pocketed a steal that led to a transition bucket to cap the Stars' 17-2 game-opening run with 4:18 left in the first quarter.
In the fourth period, OCU built a 28-point advantage for its largest lead of the day. Hill sank a jump shot in the lane to punctuate a 9-0 surge that put Oklahoma City ahead 77-49 at the 6:54 mark.  
The Stars meet USAO at 6 p.m. Thursday at Abe Lemons Arena.
