Women's Basketball Show Resilience Despite Loss to Langston University Lions

Oklahoma Panhandle State University Aggies Women's Basketball team faced a challenging matchup against the RV Langston University Lions, resulting in a 71-42 loss. While the final score may not reflect the intensity and determination displayed by the Aggies, the game showcased their tenacity and commitment.

Throughout the first three quarters, the Aggies demonstrated their fighting spirit by cutting the deficit to 13 points at the start of the fourth quarter. Despite trailing 34-22 in the first half, OPSU's defense forced the Lions to take challenging shots from the outside. The Aggies, however, struggled with turnovers, providing Langston with 26 points off those miscues.

The Lions applied constant pressure on the ball, making it a challenging contest for the OPSU guards. Despite the defensive hurdles, standout performances were delivered by key players. Jana Radovanovic led the team in scoring with an impressive 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Mariah Williams contributed significantly with 7 rebounds and 5 points. Carolyn Olvera showcased her shooting skills, going 1-2 from beyond the arc, while Molly Jones hit 2-5 from three-point range. Jamaiah Clay displayed her defensive prowess with 7 boards and 2 steals.

Looking ahead, the Aggies remain undeterred as they prepare to face Central Christian College at home on Saturday at 2 PM. Head Coach Maria Wiltzius expressed optimism after the game, stating in an interview, "We prepared for this game defensively by playing shooters' percentages and actually guarded well tonight. Now we have to continue to feed whoever is hot and put the ball in scorers' hands."
