Coyle, Okla. – Central Christian College of Kansas endured a tough afternoon on the road as Langston University pulled away for a decisive 72-34 victory in Sooner Athletic Conference women’s basketball action.
The Tigers struggled to find offensive rhythm early and fell behind quickly, trailing 15-9 after the opening quarter. Langston continued to dominate through the second quarter, outscoring Central Christian 21-2 to take firm control of the contest heading into halftime. From there, the Lions maintained their advantage, cruising to a 38-point win.
Central Christian shot 22% from the field and 16% from beyond the arc, unable to convert consistently against Langston’s pressure. The Tigers also battled turnovers and rebounding deficits that hindered scoring opportunities.

Kylee Jones added seven points, and C’Niyah Willams chipped in four, but the offense overall couldn’t keep pace.
