SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Jackie Stiles scored 14 of Southwest Missouri State's last 19 points Saturday to lead the No. 21 Lady Bears to a 69-61 win over No. 18 Oklahoma.

Stiles, the nation's leading scorer averaging 32 points, finished with 25 to help avenge an 89-82 loss to the Lady Sooners Dec. 1.

Southwest Missouri (6-2) almost saw a 19-point lead evaporate. Trailing 56-37 with 8:03 remaining, the Lady Sooners (5-3) went on a 16-2 run to narrow the lead to 58-53 with 3:37 left.

Jadrea Seeley scored underneath with 1:22 left to cut Southwest Missouri's lead to 62-60, but a jumper by Stiles with 55 seconds left and two free throws with 29 seconds to play iced the game for the Lady Bears.

Tara Mitchem had 13 points and nine rebounds for Southwest Missouri.

Oklahoma was led by Stacey Dales with 18. LaNeishea Caufield had 14 and Caton Hill added 10.
