Wichita State’s game Sunday was a tale of two halves.

For one half, the Shockers shot 50 percent from the field and ran a 19-point lead. For another half, WSU scored 16 points and shot 17 percent from the field. Still, WSU’s halftime lead was enough to topple Southern Methodist. The Shockers won the game 52-43.

“I thought we were good both offensively and defensively in the first quarter and really set the tone early,” WSU Coach Keitha Adams said. “In the second half [Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage] got in foul trouble and it made for a tougher second half with our shots not falling like they were in the first half.
