The Lady Bison put the clamps on defensively, holding NWOSU to 27 percent shooting for the game while winning the rebound battle 45-33.

OBU led for the game's final 37 minutes and broke a 22-12 contest wide open with a half-closing 24-4 run for a 45-16 halftime advantage. Tanna Truelove came off the bench for nine of those points.

The Lady Bison led by as many as 50 points.

OBU, which outscored Northwestern 19-18 in bench scoring in Alva, got big contributions from the bench Saturday, dominating that stat 51-9. Taujhnae Travis (13) and Truelove (12) combined for nearly half of that, while Erin Pickering added eight.
