AUSTIN, Texas – There’s more to the Oklahoma Sooners than Courtney Paris.

Just enough, it turns out, for the third-seeded Sooners to hold off No. 14 Southeast Missouri State 74-60 on Saturday in the first round.

Sonya Daugherty led Southeast Missouri State (24-8) with 25 points in the Dayton Regional’s opening game. The Redhawks trailed 64-58 with four minutes to play before Plumley hit her fifth 3-pointer, then buried another 60 seconds later to make it 70-60. Plumley also had seven assists.

Paris, one of the most dominating players in the country, struggled the entire game but still got her 59th consecutive double-double with a burst in the final five minutes to finish with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
