GOODWELL, Okla. — Oklahoma Panhandle State women's basketball (3-5, 0-3 SAC) was defeated 70-47 Tuesday night versus Wayland Baptist (2-5, 2-1).
 
A competitive first quarter gave way to a dominant stretch from the visiting Flying Queens through the middle portions of the contest, which allowed them to cruise to victory.
 
La'Tommas Johnson-Nash, Mar'kia Pratt and Tryssa Dowd all had their offensive games working in the opening period, with Dowd twice putting the Aggies up by a deuce.
 
WBU led 15-13 after one, however, and it pulled away quickly with a 28-8 advantage in the second quarter.
 
Behind 61-29 entering the fourth frame, OPSU showed no quit. Lyric Carpenter made a pair of buckets in the middle of the quarter, and Breya Beck scored the game's final five points – the last of which was set up by Morgan Earle's steal.
 
Pratt finished with a team-high 13 points and game-high four assists. Johnson-Nash was active throughout the night with eight points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal.
 
Defensively, Dowd closed with a career-high four blocks, while Emily Bray and Heidi Rodriguez each recorded two steals.
 
What's up next: OPSU travels to Alva, Oklahoma, on Saturday for an exhibition contest at Northwestern Oklahoma State University (4-1). Tipoff is set for 1 p.m.
