KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Shekinna Stricklen had the second triple-double in Tennessee history, finishing with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists in the fourth-ranked Lady Volunteers' 96-75 victory over Oklahoma (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) on Sunday night.

Stricklen completed the triple-double with her 10th rebound with 8:58 left. The only other Lady Vol to accomplish the feat was Shelia Collins, who had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals against Florida State on Feb. 8, 1985.

Angie Bjorklund led Tennessee with 25 points, hitting 5 of 8 3-point attempts. Alyssia Brewer contributed 13 points, and Kelley Cain added 10.

Tennessee (12-1) led 47-43 early in the second half, then slowly pulled away. Stricklen hit a layup in the paint with 11:18 left to give the Lady Vols a 10-point advantage at 64-54 lead. The Sooners (10-3) would not get any closer.

Amanda Thompson led Oklahoma with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Nyeshia Stevenson had 17 points, Carlee Roethlisberger added 14 and Danielle Robinson had 10.

Oklahoma jumped out to a 14-4 lead early in the first half, helped by a pair of 3s from Roethlisberger and Stevenson. Tennessee went inside to keep up and grabbed a 27-22 lead with 8:50 left in the first half after a 13-2 run.

Sooners coach Sherri Coale kept her rotation short, substituting her seventh and last player with only 1:23 left in the game. The Lady Vols played 10, wearing the Sooners out in the fast-paced, physical game.

It showed on the boards, where Tennessee pulled down 48 rebounds compared to Oklahoma's 31. The Lady Vols put up 21 second-chance points and finished with 44 points in the paint.

The Lady Vols got revenge for an 80-70 loss to the Sooners last season. The loss denied coach Pat Summitt in her first attempt at her 1,000th win.
