Bartlesville, OK —  

The OKWU Eagles continued their impressive season with a 90-81 victory over the Ottawa University Braves on Wednesday night at the Mueller Sports Center. The win pushes OKWU to 15-2 overall and 10-1 in conference play, solidifying their spot near the top of the KCAC standings. 

The Eagles showcased offensive efficiency, shooting an outstanding 58.3% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc. After taking a 41-36 lead into halftime, OKWU exploded in the second half, outscoring the Braves and building a lead that stretched to 20 points midway through the period. 

Temaje Izuagbe led the charge with a game-high 22 points and seven rebounds, while Yashi McKenzie added 20 points on near-perfect shooting.
