Geer's Double-Double Lifts Harding over Southwestern Oklahoma in GAC Opener

WEATHERFORD, Okla. (AP) — Rory Geer's impressive double-double performance led Harding to a 60-50 victory over Southwestern Oklahoma State in the Great American Conference opener for both teams on Thursday.

Geer scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, marking her second double-double of the season and 18th of her career.

The win was Harding's fourth in 16 matchups in Weatherford. Josie Williams added 11 points, connecting on 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, while Sage Hawley contributed 13 points and nine rebounds.

Harding (4-2) outrebounded the Bulldogs 54-29 and limited Southwestern to 31.8% shooting from the field.

Southwestern (4-2) was led by Hailey Grant's 14 points, but the Bulldogs struggled from three-point range, shooting just 18.2% (4-of-22).

The Lady Bisons' largest lead came in the third quarter, when they stretched their advantage to 19 points. Southwestern attempted a late comeback, but Harding's defense held the Bulldogs to only nine fourth-quarter points.

The Lady Bisons next travel to Alva, Oklahoma, to face Northwestern Oklahoma on Saturday.
