PLAINVIEW, Texas -- Senior Baily Cameron and sophomore Taylor Fergen each scored in double figures, but No. 5 Wayland Baptist hit a program record 17 triples and committed just three turnovers in the Flying Queens' 90-49 win over the John Brown University women's basketball team on Saturday (Jan. 19) afternoon inside the Hutcherson Center.
Cameron hit 3-of-6 from the floor to score 12 points, and Fergen converted 4-of-5 adding 11.
Outside of that, the Golden Eagles (12-6, 8-3 Sooner Athletic) struggled from the field, hitting just 33 percent (18-of-55) and turning the ball over 18 times. Hitting just three triples, its fewest of the season, John Brown had to endure the Flying Queens (17-2, 11-0) program record 17 triples and refusing to cough up the ball.
Maci Merket, Kambrey Blakey and Kaylee Edgemon each contributed 16 points and shot a combined 16-of-31 from the floor and 10-of-18 from behind the arc.
Payton Brown added 12 points and a team-best eight rebounds in the win for Wayland Baptist.
It was really the mid-range jumpers and triples that did JBU in as the hosts held a narrow 26-24 lead in points in the paint.
The Golden Eagles maintain third place in the Sooner Athletic and welcome Texas Wesleyan and Southwestern A.G. (Texas) to Bill George Arena next week. JBU will look for a season split with Wesleyan and a sweep of the Lions.
