Women’s Basketball Falls to Oral Roberts in Summit League Opener

TULSA, Okla. – Kansas City Women's Basketball (7-7, 0-1 Summit) got off to a slow start against Oral Roberts (8-4, 1-0 Summit) and a big third quarter was not enough to make up the lost ground, the Roos ultimately fell 76-61 to the Golden Eagles. Oral Roberts got to work early, going up by 12 points in the first half, but a strong performance from Dominique Phillips in the first quarter helped to keep the Roos in the game. Phillips earned eight of Kansas City's 13 first-quarter points. The Blue and Gold staged a comeback in the second quarter, drawing even with the Golden Eagles, but just two baskets from the field were not enough to make up the lost ground in the first quarter.
