Freshman Daniels powers Arkansas to rout of ORU

FAYETTEVILLE — Makayla Daniels showed Thursday night why she was named Maryland’s Miss Basketball last season.

The freshman’s game-high 27 points led No. 23 Arkansas to a convincing 96-64 victory over Oral Roberts at Walton Arena.

“That was probably about as good as we’ve played yet,” Arkansas Coach Mike Neighbors said. “This week was probably as good as we’ve practiced this year as well. If we can continue to be this balanced, we’ve got a chance to be pretty good.”

Alexis Tolefree and Amber Ramirez each tallied 18 points, while Chelsea Dungee chipped in 12 for the Razorbacks (3-0), who hit 17 of 32 three-pointers against the Golden Eagles.
