TULSA, Okla. - Hillary Chvatal established career highs in points, rebounds and steals Monday evening, but Oral Roberts (2-2) claimed the victory with a 70-57 win over Missouri State (0-4) at the Mabee Center.

Chvatal scored nine points, grabbed 15 rebounds and swiped four steals in 29 minutes, and Kenzie Williams scored 15 points to lead the offensive attack.

The Lady Bears led 6-4 early when ORU took control with an 11-0 run to lead 15-6 with 13:30 left in the first half. Lee Ann Polowy's 3-pointer pulled MSU to 15-11 with 12:08 on the clock, and the Lady Bears pulled within four points on two other occasions before the Golden Eagles hit a pair of free throws to match their largest lead thus far at 29-20 with 3:29 remaining.
