SHAWNEE, Oklahoma -- Oklahoma Baptist brought the pressure from the tip Tuesday night at Noble Complex.

That allowed the Bison (2-2) to build a big early lead and roll to an 85-59 win over Midwestern State.

"It's always a good opportunity to get better on the road," MSU coach Brenita Jackson said. "They were able to shoot the ball and they were very good at rebounding the ball. We need to be a little bit tougher."

OBU sophomore Jaedyn Getman poured in a game-high 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting with a pair of 3-pointers to lead the Bison, while Madison Chambers contributed an all-around performance with 14 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.

Oklahoma Baptist shot 45.2 percent from the field, while limiting the Mustangs to a 30-percent shooting performance while out-rebounding Midwestern, 49-39.

The Bison led from tip to buzzer, pushing their lead to double figures in the opening period and led by as many as 27 points in the second half.

Senior forward Kertisa Amos paced the Mustangs with 13 points and pulled down eight rebounds, while Makayla Coy added 10 points with eight rebounds of her own.

Junior forward Zarria Carter battled through foul trouble to finish with eight points and five rebounds in nearly 27 minutes, while Kyla Speights and Jaida Gomez chipped in seven points each off of the bench.

Midwestern State (0-4) returns to action Friday afternoon against No. 5-ranked Tampa (Fla.) in the Angelo State Rambelle Classic. Tipoff at Junell Center/Stephens Arena is set for 3 p.m.
