Charlotte vs. Oklahoma State
PARRY SOUND, Ontario (Interstat) — The Oklahoma State Cowgirls, off to a strong 6-1 start, will face the Charlotte 49ers in a non-conference women’s basketball matchup on Friday at John Gray Gymnasium.
The Cowgirls are riding high after a dominant 98-45 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Monday. In that game, Haleigh Timmer scored 25 points, while Micah Gray added 14 and Jadyn Wooten dished out eight assists. Oklahoma State’s lone loss came on the road against Saint John’s, 74-67, on Nov. 19.
Charlotte (4-3) arrives after a 73-59 home win over Wofford last Saturday. Tanajah Hayes and Princess Anderson each scored 16 points in the victory, with Hayes also contributing seven assists and five rebounds. The 49ers have shown resilience, bouncing back from a 44-69 loss at California with two consecutive wins.
The game presents a contrast in momentum. Oklahoma State’s offense has been explosive, averaging over 92 points per game, largely against a schedule of lesser opponents. Charlotte has faced a tougher slate, including a 59-117 road loss to LSU, but has proven capable in tight contests, such as a 66-64 win at UCF.
This is the first game of a two-day event in Parry Sound. Oklahoma State will face Miami (Fla.) and Charlotte will take on George Washington at the same venue on Saturday.
