NOC Enid (9-1), ranked 17th in the latest NJCAA poll, improved to 3-0 in OCAC play while NOC Tonkawa (3-11) dropped to 0-2 in conference action.

The Lady Jets were led by freshman Shelby Black with 28 points while Lauren Wade added 16.  Tanara Combs added 12 points and Euresia Brown 10 for NOC Enid.

The Lady Mavs led 24-17 at the end of the first quarter and 39-28 late in the first half before the Lady Jets ended the half on a 13-0 run to take a 41-39 lead at half.

The second half was all Lady Jets as NOC Enid built a 73-50 lead after the third and coasted to the 97-66 win.

"Really proud of our girls," said coach Scott Morris.  "Tonkawa came out early and made a strong push.  I thought our girls kept their composure and didn't panic.  That's been a big part of this team's maturing process."

The Lady Jets were without two starters Thursday night, Sarah Griswold and Kaylee Hurst.  Both are out with leg injuries.
