BEAUMONT — Lamar guard Baileigh O’Dell seemed to have fun from the perimeter.

O’Dell went 7 for 13 from three-point range and added three steals. She was 7 for 14 overall from the floor in just 21 minutes of work.
DeJa Roberts was the only other Cardinal scoring in double figures (13 points). Roberts hit 5 of 6 from the floor and was 3 for 4 from the arc.
