Feb 19, 2025 | Women's Basketball
TULSA, OK – Tulsa's Mady Cartwright registered 23 points on five 3-pointers as the host Golden Hurricane got the better of visiting Tulane Wednesday evening by a 73-54 tally in Reynolds Center.
Tulsa improved to 13-13 overall and 7-7 in the American Athletic Conference with the win, while the Green Wave dipped to 15-10 and 8-6 in the league.
Cartwright was joined in double figures by Paige Bradley (16) and Delanie Crawford (12). Hadley Periman led the team on the glass with nine rebounds to go with three blocked shots.
The Olive and Blue was led by Sherese Pittman, who had 21 points before fouling out. The Richmond, Virginia native also had a season-high four triples and four steals. Kyren Whittington made six of her nine field goal attempts for 14 points and Kendall Sneed tallied 10 points. Amira Mabry posted a team-high eight boards.
Tulsa hounded Tulane into a season-high 29 turnovers, which resulted in 14 Golden Hurricane steals and a resounding 33-14 advantage in points off turnovers. Nineteen (19) of those Green Wave miscues came in the first half.
Whittington put the Green Wave in front 7-3 on a 3-pointer at the 7:34 mark of the first quarter. However, Tulsa outscored the visitors 20-5 during the rest of the period and never looked back.
The Golden Hurricane increased its lead to 25 (54-29) on a triple by Periman with 3:02 left in the third.
Tulane mounted a mini-run to chop the bulge to 12 twice in the fourth quarter but went scoreless in the final three minutes, 30 seconds.
The Green Wave won the rebounding battle 35-32.
Tulane is back in action on Saturday when Wichita State (9-19, 3-12) visits Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse for Senior Day at 2 p.m. The Shockers fell 70-51 at Temple on Wednesday.
