SHAWNEE, Okla. — Confidence can carry a team a long ways late in the season and Southern Nazarene felt like every shot they put up Saturday night was going in as 20^th-ranked SNU throttled Oklahoma Baptist, 68-48.

 

The Crimson Storm (17-4, 11-2 SAC) hit 10 3-pointers, tying the highest mark in conference play and was the second highest mark on the season. Six of those 3-pointers came from the hot hand of Logan Martin who scored a game-high 20 points. It was the third time this year and the second straight game that Martin has buried six treys. Martin also went 6-for-11 from the field, dished out six assists and five rebounds.

 

SNU fired 47.6 percent (10-21) from beyond the arc and 46.3 percent from the field. SNU scored 17 points off of 22 OBU turnovers and held the Lady Bison to just 35.3 percent from the field. The Storm also allowed just three treys the whole night.

 

A 14-2 run to open the second half was all the Storm needed to coast the rest of the game. SNU had opened up a 22-8 lead midway through the first half before OBU scored 11 straight points to cut it to a 3-point game. SNU though closed out the half with a 10-4 to take a 32-23 lead into the half.

 

After the second half run, OBU came no closer than 17 the rest of the way.

 

Oumoul Thiam also added 13 points while Abbey Marra notched her 12^th double-double of the year with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

 

The win is the fifth straight for the Crimson Storm which matches their longest streak of the year. The Crimson Storm now return back to the Sawyer Center for another four-game home stand starting Monday at 6 p.m, with USAO.
