Just 30 seconds after tipoff, following a turnover from Oklahoma Christian, Anna Gret Asi picked up a steal and pitched the ball ahead to a sprinting Stailee Heard for an uncontested transition layup for the Cowgirls' first bucket of the season.
Heard quickly established an identity for herself against OCU in the Cowgirls’ 101-50 win Tuesday night. Heard finished the game with 26 points, nine rebounds and three steals.
The freshman guard from Sapulpa proved to be a versatile player for OSU as she found herself playing the center position on both sides of the ball. Standing 5-foot-11, Heard is the fifth-tallest player on OSU’s roster, but she held her own in the post both offensively and defensively.
