NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma senior Dionnah Jackson scored 12 points, grabbed four rebounds, dished out three assists and pocketed two steals during the WBCA All-Stars Challenge game.

Indy was led by Kansas State guard Kendra Wecker's 18 points followed by Sadio Sangare's 12 (Oklahoma City, NAIA) and Jackie Batteast 11 (Notre Dame). Irvin topped Jackson's team with 14 points, while Sancho Lyttle (Houston) came off the bench to add 13.

Jackson nailed 5 of 7 shots and went 2-for-3 from the free throw line in 24 minutes of play. Next, she will be participating in the WNBA Pre-Draft Camp the weekend of April 8-10 at the Madison Square Garden Training Center in Tarrytown, New York.

Wecker earned MVP honors for the 500's, while Irvin, the blocked shots record holder for TCU, was selected MVP of the 400's.
