GOODWELL, Okla. -- Senior Baily Cameron scored seven of her game-high 24 points and the John Brown University women's basketball team rolled to its fifth-consecutive victory by out-scoring the Aggies 42-20 in the second half on its way to a 75-44 victory over Oklahoma Panhandle State on Thursday (Jan. 17) night inside the Oscar Williams Fieldhouse.

After shooting 50 percent in the first quarter and taking an 18-6 lead into the second, the Aggies (8-8, 4-6 Sooner Athletic) responded by hitting three of its four triples in the contest and halting the John Brown three-point shooting to an 0-of-8 mark to pull within nine points at the break.
The third, and fourth, quarters were all Golden Eagles (12-5, 8-2), however, as JBU dialed up a 10-of-18 shooting mark from the field in the third quarter, pushing the lead to 20, before taking control in the fourth quarter.
In the final period, the John Brown defense held OPSU to a 4-of-19 effort from the floor.

Freshman Kaylan Nelson hit 4-of-5 and contributed nine points off the bench in the victory.
Since its losses in Hawaii, the Golden Eagles have won five straight, out-scoring opponents by an average of 19 points per night, as Cameron, Chandra and Fergen have all averaged double-figure scoring.
The Golden Eagles shot 48 percent on the evening (28-of-59), overcoming matching a season low in triples (4) and three-point shooting (18.2 percent).
A massive advantage on the glass powered John Brown to a 13-1 second-chance-points advantage, as the visitors pulled down 13 offensive boards and ultimately out-rebounding the Aggies 52-53, JBU's second-best boarding margin of the season.
