ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Harding used a balanced scoring attack and outstanding second-half shooting to cruise past Ouachita Baptist 74-54 in a Great American Conference women's basketball game on Thursday.
The Lady Bisons improved to 15-3 overall and 11-1 in conference play, while Ouachita Baptist fell to 8-8 overall and 4-8 in the GAC. The win marked Harding's ninth consecutive victory in the series and snapped Ouachita's four-game home winning streak.
Maddi Holt led Harding with 15 points, while Sage Hawley added 12. Rory Geer chipped in 10 points and grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds, and Josie Williams scored 10 points and dished out a team-high five assists.
Harding trailed by as many as seven points in the first half but took a 34-32 lead into halftime. The Lady Bisons then caught fire in the third quarter, shooting 64.3% (9 of 14) from the field to outscore Ouachita 22-10 and take a commanding 56-42 lead.
Ouachita Baptist, the GAC's top 3-point shooting team entering the game, misfired on all eight of its attempts from beyond the arc. Harding, meanwhile, continued to shoot well in the fourth quarter, hitting 54.5% (6 of 11) of its attempts to pull away.
Madeleine Tipton and Brooke Smith led Ouachita Baptist with 14 points each.
