Goodwell, OK - The Lady Aggies of Oklahoma Panhandle State maneuvered their way right back into Heartland Conference contention with a big 64-45 victory over Lincoln on Wednesday night in Jefferson City, Missouri. OPSU had control for most of the game and a 31-25 advantage at halftime.

With the victory, the Lady Aggies raised their season record to 7-10, but more importantly, evened their conference mark at 2-2. They look to improve their posture within the league as they head back to Goodwell to play four consecutive conference games at home.

Lady Aggie head coach Jerry Olson was pleased with his team’s overall performance and exceptionally so with the defense. Olson also cited Bridgett Boykin and Laura Wilson for their strong contributions coming off the bench.

Brandi Lewis led the way for OPSU with 17 points and the dependable Nina Kuleff added a dozen. Boykin and Taneisha Rogers each added ten to the Lady Aggie cause. Wilson and the sure-handed Sarah Furgeson each had five assists.

As Olson mentioned, it was the OPSU defense that did the job, holding Lincoln to 29% shooting (to their 41%). Michelle Kennedy, April Gahagan and Kuleff shared Lady Aggie rebounding honors with seven each.

The Lady Aggies will play four home games in eight days beginning this Friday with Western New Mexico. Tip-off is set for 6:00 PM in Oscar Williams Fieldhouse on the OPSU campus.
