FARGO, N.D. – The North Dakota State women's basketball team picked up its fourth straight win after downing Oral Roberts, 83-73, on Thursday night at Scheels Center.
Heaven Hamling led the way for the Bison (15-9, 9-2 Summit) with her fourth 20-point game of the season with a team-high 21 points on 5-of-7 shooting from three. The Grand Rapids, Minn., native also hauled in six rebounds with five assists and two steals. Elle Evans contributed 12 points with five rebounds, while Abby Schulte also tallied 12 points with five rebounds. Avery Koenen rounded out the group grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds with eight points.
As a team, NDSU shot 53.6 percent (30-56) from the field and 47.9 percent (9-19) from three. NDSU also grabbed 43 rebounds with eight different players contributing at least one.
After committing 13 first half turnovers and trailing at the break, 41-36, NDSU responded in the third quarter shooting a game-best 63.2 percent from the field. The Bison were able to construct an 8-2 run to open up six-point edge, 56-50, after Abby Graham drained a triple at the 3:41 mark.
NDSU carried the energy into the fourth frame with five straight points to extend the lead to 76-62 after Koenen connected on a jumper with 4:25 remaining. The Bison went on to hold off the Golden Eagles (16-9, 7-5 Summit) the rest of the way to earn the 83-73 win.
NDSU will be back in action hosting Denver on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 1:00 p.m.
