    MONTICELLO, Ark. – SWOSU Women's Basketball defeated Arkansas-Monticello 81-72 on Saturday afternoon to earn their fourth consecutive victory – the longest winning streak the Lady Dawgs have gone on this season. The win also gives the Lady Bulldogs their second-straight GAC season series sweep after already collecting their first against Southern Arkansas earlier in the week. The Lady Bulldogs jumped out to a nine-point lead at 21-12 by the end of the first quarter after Hailey Tucker wasted no time in posting double-digits, as the sop...

    GOODWELL, Okla. – SWOSU Baseball opened the 2017 season with a doubleheader sweep of Panhandle State on Saturday afternoon at the Aggie Baseball Field in Goodwell.

"I was proud of the boys for overcoming some early mistakes and finding a way to win game one, then they s...

  • Eagles buried early in loss at St. Edward's

    Feb 5, 2017

    AUSTIN, Texas (Feb. 4, 2017) – Oklahoma Christian's basketball game at St. Edward's (Texas) on Saturday afternoon was effectively over just minutes after it started, courtesy of a huge early wave by the host Hilltoppers. St. Edward's began on a 22-2 run and never had its lead shrink below 16 points the rest of the way while beating the Eagles 100-75 at the Recreation and Convocation Center. OC (8-12, 3-9 Heartland Conference) committed 22 turnovers and missed a chance to improve its shot at one of the final berths in the eight-team league t...

  • Foul trouble plagues Lady Eagles in loss at St. Edward's

    Feb 5, 2017

    AUSTIN, Texas (Feb. 4, 2017) – It's no secret Oklahoma Christian relies greatly on its pair of outstanding senior forwards, McKenzie Stanford and Sarah Parker. When a basketball game remains in doubt, OC coach Stephanie Findley usually has one, or both, on the court. But both Parker and Stanford got into foul trouble on Saturday afternoon at league-leading St. Edward's (Texas) and that limited their playing time. Combine that with 24 turnovers (the Lady Eagles' second-highest total this season) and it's easy to understand why OC lost 68-55 t...

  • Lady Eagles fall to Rockhurst, Central Missouri on frigid day

    Feb 5, 2017

    DURANT, Okla. (Feb. 4, 2017) – The pitching was there for Oklahoma Christian on Friday in the Southeastern Regional Invitational, but the hitting was not, perhaps a victim of the frigid weather in southeastern Oklahoma on Saturday. Whatever the reason, the Lady Eagles managed only two runs in two games, falling to Rockhurst (Mo.) 5-1 in the morning before dropping a 2-1 decision in the early afternoon to Central Missouri at the Durant Multi-Sports Complex. "Our pitchers threw well enough to win the ballgames for us," OC coach Tom Heath said. "...

  • OC opens season with strong wins over Emporia State, Midwestern State

    Feb 5, 2017

    DURANT, Okla. (Feb. 3, 2017) – Sisters Lacey Davidson and Niki Davidson had never before homered in the same game – in college or in high school – but they took care of that Friday on a quite successful opening day for Oklahoma Christian softball. Each Davidson sister hit a two-run homer as the Lady Eagles run-ruled Emporia State (Kan.) 9-1, then Lacey Davidson added three more RBIs in a 5-3 win over Midwestern State (Texas) on the first day of the Southeastern Regional Invitational at the Durant Multi-Sports Complex. "We're preaching to them...

  • Washburn silences Eagles' bats to win in AirHogs Division II Classic

    Feb 5, 2017

    GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (Feb. 3, 2017) – As successful as Oklahoma Christian was offensively in its baseball season opener on Thursday, it was equally as frustrated on Friday against Washburn (Kan.). Washburn senior right-hander Lance Barkley limited the Eagles to four hits in eight innings to lead the Ichabods to a 4-1 win on the second day of the AirHogs Division II Classic at AirHogs Stadium. OC (1-1) rolled up 15 runs in its opener against Missouri Western, but only advanced two runners as far as third base during the first seven innings a...
