WEATHERFORD, Okla. – The SWOSU women's basketball team was held two touchdowns below their season scoring average, but a stellar defensive effort made certain the Lady Bulldogs were not tested by Arkansas-Monticello. SWOSU completed the season sweep of the Cotton Blossoms with a 72-46 win on Saturday afternoon at the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.
SWOSU held UAM to just 46 points on 27.1% (16-of-59) shooting while allowing the Blossoms just 2-of-15 (13.3%) shooting from 3-point range. Those numbers enabled the Lady Bulldogs to cruise to their sixth straight victory despite what would be classified as an off night offensively for SWOSU.
Taryn Sayama came off the bench to score a career-high 26 points on 11-of-21 shooting, leading the way for a SWOSU offense which connected on 30-of-70 (42.9%) field goal attempts, but just 7-of-27 (25.9%) 3-pointers.
Kylie Boggess also came off the bench and recorded her second double-double of the season, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Michelle Fisher was held below 10 points for just the second time this season, but her nine points moved her into a tie for fifth-place in SWOSU history for points scored. Fisher has a current total of 1,244 points scored in her career, a mark that equals Paige Adams (2002-05) in the Lady Bulldog record books. It was also a memorable night for Fisher because she grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds, the most by a SWOSU player this season.
The surging Lady Bulldogs now sit alone in second place in the Great American Conference with a date against the conference-leading Harding looming next Saturday. Before that game, however, SWOSU (12-6, 9-3 GAC) will visit Arkansas Tech on Thursday night.
