The night cap was over just a couple of minutes into the game. The Eagles jumped out 25-4 after the first period thanks, in part, to Leah Cauble, who scored 17 of her game-high 39 points during the first eight minutes.
It was more of the same in the second as Oran expanded the score to 44-8.
After the half-time intermission, the Eagles called off the press and fell back into a 1-3-1 zone. Delta out-scored Oran in the third, 19-18. The Eagles utilized the mercy-rule clock during the fourth to claim the 37 point rout.
Head coach Ethan Evans told the blog, "Our effort in the 1st half was outstanding especially on the defensive side of the ball with the press. We tried some new defenses in the 2nd half and we weren't nearly as aggressive."
Included in those 39 points, Cauble hit 2 from beyond the arc and 11 of 12 from the stripe. Ashlyn McIntosh reached double-figures with 10. She had a triple.
Brianna Stause hit for 8 and also hit two from long range. Shiloh Kirn chipped in 6, including a trey. Jessie Long and Tatum May both added four. Long led the team with 10 rebounds and May had 4 assists and 6 steals.
Mackenzie Graviett, Claire Ramsey and Hannah Scherer all played but did not score.
Oran was 19-54 for 35% from inside the arc and also 35% from beyond (6-17). From the charity stripe they were 15-24 for 63%.
The varsity is now 2-0 in conference and 13-2 overall.
They will be back in action on Saturday when they take the Twin Rivers Royals at Three Rivers College in Poplar Bluff.
