<p>HAYS, Kan. – For the first time since 2011-12, the Fort Hays
State women’s basketball team has lost more than one home game in a season. The
23rd-ranked Tigers nearly couldn’t overcome poor shooting and lost 77-66 to
Central Oklahoma in front of 3,575 Saturday afternoon &nbsp;at Gross Coliseum.&nbsp;</p><div><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/757387915&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe>

quickly fell behind by 14 a little over midway through the third quarter. UCO (17-5,
8-5 MIAA) built their big lead by hitting five-straight 3-pointers, four of
them by Oklahoma transfer Clary Donica.</p><p>FHSU held the Bronchos scoreless for the final 4:19 of the quarter
and closed the gap to seven entering the fourth. </p><p>An 8-0 run in the fourth pulled the Tigers within 62-61 with
3:47 to play but a controversial no-foul call forced a Tiger turnover. UCO then
converted on a conventional three-point play to go up four which fueled a 15-5
run to close out the game.</p><p>Poor shooting doomed the Tigers from the opening tip. FHSU
held the Bronchos scoreless for over five and-a-half minutes to start the game
but were only able to build a 6-0 lead.</p><p>The Tigers shot only 33-percent for the game and went
6-for-28 from beyond the arc.</p><p>UCO shot 44-percent and went 9-of-16 from beyond the arc.</p>
