FAYETTEVILLE -- One big rally to begin the second quarter was all the difference for Oral Roberts on Wednesday afternoon at Walton Arena.
The Golden Eagles reeled off 15 consecutive points over the first five minutes of the second quarter to build a 13-point lead and took control the rest of the contest. Arkansas' women never recovered, dropping a 70-60 decision to Oral Roberts in front of an announced crowd of 1,303.
"I think we stood around on offense and our lack of getting stops kind of affected our offense," Arkansas Coach Jimmy Dykes said. "Number 44 [Maria Martianez] put us in a bind, number 1 [Kaylan Mayberry] put us in a bind and number 11 [Lakota Beatty] can really shoot the ball.
