Lady Bulldogs rout Ozark

Fayetteville cruised to the Citizen's Bank Classic title, dominating an outmanned Ozark team in a 59-23 mercy rule victory. The Lady Bulldogs (4-1) led 11-5 after a quarter and then outscored Ozark 40-12 in the second and third quarters, taking over with their athleticism and putting the game out of reach with hot shooting. Delaney Osbourn scored a game-high 11 and knocked down three of Fayetteville's six 3-pointers in the middle two quarters as it pulled away. "We're shooting the basketball better earlier this year than we did last year," Fayetteville coach Vic Rimmer said. "If we can consistently make the 3-ball, they're going to be there because we break people down so well." Ozark became even more overmatched when sophomore guard Hannah Ladd, who had four of its first five points, went down with an apparent knee injury and didn't return. Fayetteville continued to stretch the lead out as Rimmer emptied the bench and 14 Lady Bulldogs scored in the title-game win.
