MILWAUKEE (AP) — Danielle Robinson scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half to lead No. 10 Oklahoma to a 76-59 victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
The Sooners were never able to pull away from the scrappy Panthers until Robinson turned a five-point lead with 5 minutes to play into a rout with a 14-4 run. She started the spurt with a jumper and a 3-pointer.
Aaryn Ellenberg, a freshman, added 14 points for the Sooners in their first opener on the road since playing at Tennessee to start the 2002-03 season.
The game was dedicated to former Sooner standout Rosalind Ross, a Milwaukee native, who was fatally shot outside a restaurant in her hometown last September.
Angela Rodriguez scored 16 points and Sami Tucker added 15 to lead Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a preseason pick to finish sixth in the Horizon League.
