OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma City Women's Basketball team held Central Christian to single-digits in the third and fourth quarter while the Stars ran away with a 73-44 victory to snap a three-game losing streak. 

TOP PERFORMERS

STAR OF THE SHOW: Amaya Gordon notched her fourth double-double of the season Saturday afternoon as the Stars top player scored 21 points while hauling in a season-high 15 rebounds. Gordon's 21 was the sixth time this season she has tabbed 20 or more points in a game as the senior went a perfect 7-for-7 from the stripe. 

STAT OF THE GAME: Oklahoma City had its best rebounding day of the season with 51 total boards in the contest. Four Stars grabbed at least five or more rebounds with Gordon hauling in 15, Jerzie Bryant with eight and Raegan Travis with seven. 

FIRST QUARTER: Oklahoma City used a quick 8-2 run in the first as Brooke Curry knocked down a three followed by Amaya Gordon hitting a jumper to give OCU its biggest lead of the quarter at 12-4. Central Christian crawled all the way to trail by three after netting three straight threes as the quarter came to an end. 

SECOND QUARTER: Oklahoma City took its lead up to 12 as Jerzie Bryant began to catch fire by scoring eight of the 16 OCU points in the quarter while knocking down a pair of threes. After trailing by 12 the Tigers chipped their way back again with a 6-0 run to cut it to seven entering the half.  

THIRD QUARTER: The Oklahoma City defense turned up out of the locker room holding the Tigers to only nine points in the quarter while keeping Central scoreless in the final 2:49 of the third. The Stars took advantage of the Tigers drought by raising the lead to 15 points at the quarters end.

FOURTH QUARTER: In the fourth the Oklahoma City surge began as a 15-2 run from the Stars put the Tigers down deep in a 30-point disadvantage. Oklahoma City outscored Central Christian 22-8 in the quarter as the Stars held the Tigers to single-digits once again. 

GAME NOTES
