Women’s Basketball’s third-quarter surge falls short in loss to Oral Roberts
1/17/2022 1:42:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Tulsa, Okla. – The St. Thomas women's basketball team (6-10, 3-3) trailed by two points, 40-38, midway through the third quarter before Oral Roberts (9-8, 4-2) ended the game on a 32-6 run to earn the 72-44 win.
In the first of three road games in a six-day stretch, grad student F scored a team-high 11 points, as a total of eight Tommies made their way into the scoring column.
The Tommies struck first with a layup from grad student F Kaia Porter before the Golden Eagles went on an 8-0 run to open an 8-2 lead four minutes into the first quarter. St. Thomas responded with a 5-0 run of its own cutting the lead to 8-7 halfway through the first quarter.
The Purple connected on 5-of-12 (42 percent) of their shots from the field in the first quarter and 2-of-5 (40 percent) from behind the arc but trailed Oral Roberts 19-14 after one quarter of play.
With just under four minutes played in the second quarter, senior G Maggie Negaard knocked down her second three-point shot of the game to cut the Golden Eagle lead to 23-21 with five minutes to play in the first half. Through the first 14 minutes of the game, Negaard connected on all three of her shots from the field including both attempts from behind the arc to score a team-best 8 points.
Porter knocked down another three-point basket with 3:54 remaining in the first half to cut the Oral Roberts' lead to one point, 25-24. Over the final 3:54 of the second quarter, the Golden Eagles went on a 7-0 lead to take a 32-24 lead into intermission.
In the first half, St. Thomas connected on 9-of-33 (27 percent) of its shots from the field, 4-of-12 (33 percent) from behind the arc and a perfect 2-of-2 from the charity stripe.
Individually, Negaard led the scoring efforts with eight points through the first 20 minutes of play. Freshman C Jo Landbehn hauled in a team-best five first-half rebounds.
The Purple came out of halftime and outscored the Golden Eagles 12-8 through the first six minutes of the third quarter to cut the Oral Roberts lead to two points, 40-38 with 4:10 to play in the third quarter. St. Thomas connected on six of their first nine shots in the second half and a strong defensive effort held Oral Roberts to a 2-of-7 showing in that same timeframe.
Despite the strong Tommie start to the third quarter, the Golden Eagles ended the third quarter on a 10-0 run to take a 50-38 lead into the fourth quarter. The Purple didn't have an answer for the Golden eagles as they finished the game on a 32-6 run to earn the 72-44 victory.
St. Thomas connected on 18-of-62 (29 percent) of its shooting attempts from the field and 4-of-23 (17 percent) from behind the arc, and a perfect 4-of-4 from the charity stripe in the game.
The Tommies continue their three-game road trip on Thursday in Brookings, S.D., as they play their first game against South Dakota State at 7:00 p.m.
