Brown Drops Career High 29 Points In WBB’s OT Win Over BGSU
January 08, 2020 | Women's Basketball
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - It wasn't easy, but the Ball State women's basketball team extended its win streak over Bowling Green to 10 with the Cardinals 86-80 overtime win Wednesday night in the Stroh Center.
Junior Oshlynn Brown scored a career high 29 points against the Falcons while graduate senior Jasmin Samz ended the night with 19 points. Sophomore Thelma Dis Agustsdottir and freshman Sydney Freeman both chipped in 13 apiece.
With 35 seconds remaining in overtime and Ball State (10-4, 2-0 MAC) leading Bowling Green (7-7, 0-2 MAC) by one (81-80), Agustsdottir hit a jumper just outside the paint to extend the Cardinals lead to three. Ball State then turned up its defense and held the Falcons scoreless the remainder of the contest.
Some big plays from Freeman, Samz and Brown made it possible for the Cardinals to lock down the win in OT. Both Samz and Brown made their free throws down the stretch. Freeman also had a steal and a fast break layup with 1:39 on the clock to give Ball State an extra boost.
The Falcons opened the third quarter with a 16-9 run to take a 49-48 lead over Ball State at the 4:32 mark. Brown answered after the media timeout with three layups to put the Cardinals back up by three (54-51) with 1:32 on the clock. But a 3-pointer from the Falcons Madisen Parker, who ranks 11th in the nation from behind the arc, tied up the ball game at 54-54 to end the third.
The fourth stanza was a close one as well, as the two teams continued to trade baskets. Samz and Brown each hit their buckets to give Ball State a four-point edge (74-70) with 31 seconds remaining in regulation. Parker then came through for the Falcons again with an old fashioned three-point play to send the game into OT.
After the opening tip, Bowling Green struck first while the Cardinals struggled offensively. Ball State finally answered with its first basket from freshman Annie Rauch at the 6:33 mark. Turnovers seemed to plague both teams in the first 10 minutes of action. In a back and forth affair that consisted of three ties and seven lead changes, Rauch and senior Arbrie Benson combined to reclaim the lead for Ball State at 18-16 to end the first quarter of play.
The second quarter mimicked the first, although it seemed like a bit of a seesaw match the Cardinals held onto their slim lead throughout the second 10 minutes of action. A combination of Cardinals that included baskets from Brown, Agustsdottir, Samz and Freeman allowed Ball State to take a six-point (39-33) lead over Bowling Green at intermission.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action Saturday at home when it hosts Eastern Michigan in Worthen Arena at 1 p.m.
