Captains lead KU women to victory over ORU

With huge nights from two of its junior captains Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas University’s women’s basketball team handled Oral Roberts, 85-68.

Forward Carolyn Davis led all scorers with 25 points in just 29 minutes while also grabbing a game-high 11 boards. KU point guard Angel Goodrich, meanwhile, distributed 14 assists for the Jayhawks (10-1).

The KU single-game record for assists is 18, held by Lisa Braddy, who set the mark in 1989. Goodrich’s 14-assist night put her in sole possession of the third-best single-game assist total in program history. Goodrich passed out 15 in a game against Iowa State as a sophomore.

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland finished with 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting. The Jayhawks’ third captain, junior guard Monica Engelman, scored 16 points and reserve Chelsea Gardner, a 6-foot-3 freshman forward, scored 10 points in only nine minutes.
