WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State rode the hot hand of Frances King to a 71-61 win over Oklahoma Christian on Saturday afternoon inside D.L. Ligon Coliseum. The redshirt freshman stole the show on senior day, hitting a career-high five three-pointers, including a half court heave to end the first half, on the way to a personal best 23 points. 

"She played well," interim coach Christopher Reay said. "We have known she is capable of that as well. It's just a matter of her getting some confidence."

King's half court heave gave the Mustangs a 33-22 lead heading into the locker room.

"I looked down and knew it was going in," Frances King said. "I thought it was going to be a bank. But it was a swish."

Midwestern State built up a 15-point lead early in the third quarter before Oklahoma Christian came roaring back, outscoring the Mustangs 25-7 to take a three-point lead into the final frame. 

Down 50-46 seconds into the final quarter, King hit one of her five triples to close the gap to a single point, then drilled another three to give the Mustangs the lead. Following a Megan Shelton three-pointer that briefly pushed OC back in front at 53-52, King hit yet another shot from deep, sparking an 18-6 run that put the game out of reach.

Senior Mica Schneider flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. It was the second double-double of the season for the reigning Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week. 

Katie Mayo scored a game-high 27 points for visiting Oklahoma Christian. The junior finished with 16 rebounds to record her fifth double-double of the season. 

After the game, the Mustangs honored Schneider, Elizabeth Cathcart, Courtney Kerr, and Erin Alexander for their contributions to the program.

The Mustangs head to Canyon, Texas on Thursday night for a showdown with West Texas A&M. Tipoff is slated for 5:30 p.m.
