WICHITA, Kan. – Missouri State women's basketball (3-0) capped its two-game road trip with a 28-point, 76-48, victory over former Missouri Valley Conference rival Wichita State (0-3) here on Tuesday afternoon.
The win marked the Lady Bears' fifth consecutive win in the series and it was also the third straight game in which Mo State held its opponent under 50 points to start the season. The last time Missouri State opened the season with three straight double-figure wins was the 1997-98 season.
Mo State was paced by Macie Mays with 14 points for her first double-figure scoring performance as a Lady Bear. Lainie Douglas and Maiesha Washington followed in double digits with 11 points each. Kaemyn Bekemeier and Washington shared the most rebounds for the game with seven each.
A strong first half set the stage for the Lady Bears on the road. It stayed close in the early going, but a Bekemeier triple sparked a 10-4 run to give Mo State a nine-point advantage after one. From there, the Lady Bear defense shined in the second period, holding Wichita State to just nine points to lead 34-20 at the intermission.
Out of the break, Mo State surrendered the opening bucket of the second half but then promptly went on an 8-0 run to force a Shockers timeout with the lead at 20 points. Continuing to increase its lead, Missouri State didn't allow a Wichita State field goal for the final 3:33 of the third quarter to make it a 27-point, 59-32, advantage with a quarter to play.
As time continued to wind down in the fourth and Missouri State entered the bonus, the Lady Bears finished the game on a 10-2 run, six of those coming at the free throw line, to secure the road win and remain undefeated on the season.
As a squad, Missouri State was plus-20 on the boards (47-27) and pulled down 17 offensive rebounds compared to five for the Shockers. The Lady Bears didn't allow any second-chance points and forced 23 turnovers while collecting 13 steals.
Missouri State returns home on Friday, Nov. 13 to face Marquette as part of Homecoming Weekend. Tipoff at Great Southern Bank Arena is set for 6:30 p.m. Tickets for all Lady Bear home games can be purchased HERE or by calling or visiting the Great Southern Bank Arena box office during business hours (10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Mon.-Fri.) at 417-836-7678.
