PLAINVIEW, Texas -- The Golden Eagles picked a rough time to have its most difficult shooting night of the season, but the John Brown University women's basketball saw its six-game winning streak snapped in a 61-46 loss at No. 12 Wayland Baptist (Texas) on Monday (Feb. 7) afternoon inside the Hutcherson Center.
Shooting just 28 percent from the floor, the Golden Eagles (13-13, 9-9 Sooner Athletic) finished the afternoon just 17-of-60 from the field and 5-of-27 (19 percent) from behind the arc.
Junior Tarrah Stephens was the lone Golden Eagle in double figure scoring with 12 points, six rebounds and a pair of blocks. Junior Lisa Vanoverberghe led the squad with seven rebounds, but the visitors were out-rebounded 48-40.
In fact, both teams shot particularly poorly, including the host Flying Queens, which finished the game just 31 percent (21-of-67) from the floor.
The difference in the contest was Wayland Baptist's 18 offensive rebounds, which it converted into 15 second-chance points. Despite just a three turnover difference, the Flying Queens used a 23-5 scoring difference in points off miscues.
Kaitlyn Edgemon led all players with 19 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. Her sister Kaylee had to make her living at the line, sinking 7-of-8, to finish the game with 14 points and seven rebounds. Jenna Cooper struggled to a 12-point performance.
