Lady Dawgs Outgun Henderson State 116-108 in Record-Setting Performance

Box Score
 
WEATHERFORD, Okla. – SWOSU and Henderson State combined for a Great American Conference-record 224 points, but it was the Lady Bulldogs that came out on top 116-108 behind freshmen duo Morgan Vogt and Jade Jones.
 
Vogt and Jones combined for 57 points in the game, with Vogt playing the best game of her young career. She set a career-high in points with 29 on 11-22 shooting, which is the second-most points scored by a SWOSU player this season, while also grabbing a career-high seven rebounds. Jones was an offensive dynamo herself, pouring in a career-high 28 points on 10-18 shooting. She also went 4-6 from deep.
 
Head coach Kelsi Musick had game-planned for a run-and-gun affair, and the Lady Dawgs executed to perfection. The teams combined for 103 points in the first half, and SWOSU carried a slight 52-51 lead into halftime. SWOSU was dialed in from the first whistle, splashing in six 3-pointers as Chelsea Bates and Vogt combined for 30 points in the half.
 
With the game tied at 94-94 with 4:23 remaining, SWOSU finally began to pull away, going on an 8-0 over the next minute. The Lady Reddies would pull back to within three with two minutes remaining, but SWOSU pushed ahead. Jones capped the scoring with a pair of free throws with five seconds remaining to create the 116-108 final score.
 
"I'm so proud of my young team today with their fight and resilience!" said Musick about the team's offensive explosion. "They allowed runs but came back with runs of their own. To be able to finish big when it mattered was what this young team needed. I always say players make plays and we did that today!"
 
The Lady Dawgs had three players score 20 or more points in the victory. Along with Vogt and Jones, Bates poured in 24 points on 6-8 shooting. She did most of her damage at the free throw line where she was 11-12. Chapman also finished in double figures, recording 11 points.
 
With the victory, the Lady Bulldogs move to 7-11 in conference play and will look to lock up a GAC Tournament berth next week. SWOSU is rounding into form just in time, as in-state rival Northwestern Oklahoma State visits the Pioneer Cellular Event Center next Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
