NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - LaNeisha Caufield had eight of her 21 points in overtime as No. 22 Oklahoma beat 17th-ranked Stanford 102-98 Wednesday night.
One of Caufield's overtime baskets gave the Sooners (8-3) the lead for good at 100-98 with 38 seconds remaining. She then sealed the victory with two free throws with 11.7 seconds left.
Caton Hill paced the Sooners with 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Stacy Dales and Jadrea Seeley added 15 points apiece.
Down the stretch, Oklahoma trailed Stanford (5-4) by seven with just under 10 minutes to go.
Lindsey Yamasaki led Stanford with 30 points and eight rebounds and Sarah Dimson added 14 points and six rebounds.
A 3-pointer by Seeley brought the score to 74-70 with 9:10 to go. Caufield, who sat out most of the game in foul trouble, hit a 3-pointer at 5:47 to cut the lead to 78-77. The Sooners then took their first lead since late in the first half when Dales was fouled after an offensive rebound. Her basket brought the score to 81-80.
Yamasaki missed an 18-footer at the buzzer that would have won the game in regulation.
Stanford led in overtime until Dales hit two free throws to tie the game at 98-98 with 1:10 left.
After a Stanford score, Dales took a feed from Caufield in the lane and scored with 4.9 seconds left to again tie the game at 99-99.
Oklahoma had an 11-point lead in the first half before Stanford came back on the strength of Yamasaki's shooting. Stanford scored on seven straight shots and took a 50-47 halftime advantage on an 18-4 run.
