#6 Flying Queens roll to 113-53 triumph

BETHANY, Okla. – There was no letdown for the Wayland Baptist Flying Queens.

Coming off Thursday's huge road win over No. 10 Oklahoma City University that left Wayland alone atop the Sooner Athletic Conference standings, the sixth-ranked Flying Queens steamrolled Southwestern Christian here Saturday afternoon, 113-53.

All 11 Flying Queens scored at least five points, and all but two hit 3-pointers as WBU went 14-of-27 from long range (52 percent). Maybe more impressive was the team's 13-of-14 performance at the free throw line (93 percent).

Wayland (14-2, 8-0 SAC) got 18 points from Kaylee Edgemon, followed by Cailyn Breckel with 14, Maci Merket 13, Payton Brown 12 and Deborah VanDijk 11. Kambrey Blakey, Margaret Gaydon and Morgan Bennett added nine points each.

Brown pulled down a team-best 10 rebounds for the freshman's second career double-double, and Wayland blocked a season-high eight shots, three by Caycee Holson. The Queens held a 51-30 edge on the boards.

Wayland got stronger as the game went on. Leading 23-9 after the first quarter, the Flying Queens put up 29 points in each of the second and third periods before topping out with 32 in the fourth. The Flying Queens took an intentional shot-clock violation on their final possession.

The 113 points and 60-point margin of victory were the most for the program since the 2013-14 season when the Flying Queens defeated St. Gregory's, 119-68, and topped the University of the Southwest by 61 points, 102-41.

Southwestern Christian fell to 6-8, 3-5.

The Flying Queens return to Hutcherson Center for their next three home games, starting with a 6 p.m. tip Tuesday against Oklahoma-Panhandle State (8-6, 4-4), which fell to OCU on Saturday, 80-61. The Queens host winless Bacone on Thursday night and third-place John Brown on Saturday afternoon.
