The OKWU women's basketball team faced a tough test in Thursday's road matchup. Tabor College had previously defeated the Lady Eagles in the first KCAC matchup of the season, and they proved too tough again as they beat OKWU 72-58, buoyed by strong defense and a tough shooting night from the Lady Eagles.

Recap:

• Tabor led 21-13 at the end of the first quarter. That margin didn't change as the teams tied the second at 13 apiece. At halftime, Tabor led 34-26.
• A strong third quarter for both teams saw them each score 24 points, but the Lady Eagles went cold in game's final period. They scored just 8 points in the quarter as Tabor extended their lead and ultimately won by 14.

Now the Numbers:

• The 3-point touch all but abandoned the Lady Eagles on the road. They shot just 1-12 from behind the arc during the game. Tabor didn't fare much better, shooting 4-15 from downtown.
• The Lady Eagles turned the ball over 19 times, which led to 17 Tabor points.
• OKWU produced 40 points in the paint during the game.
• Zariah Tillman led the team with 16 points. ShaRae Frazier scored 12 of her own, while no other Lady Eagle was in double-figures.

Up Next:

• OKWU's game with Saint Mary, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, has been canceled. The Lady Eagles will head to Kansas Wesleyan for a rematch of a late November game that OKWU won 69-60.
