ATLANTA, Ga. -- Senior Kiaira Cooper scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Covenant women's basketball team over Oglethorpe 65-52 in non-conference action on Tuesday night.

Four players scored in double figures for Covenant (3-2) led by Cooper's 16 points. Morgan Woodward and Aleigha Williams each had 12 points, while Jessie Blankenship added 10 points and seven rebounds.

Cooper was 7-of-9 from the field and made a game-high three steals. She and Woodward each dished out three assists.

A 3-pointer from Williams with 17:39 left in the first half gave Covenant a 6-4 edge, a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the game.

Covenant used strong shooting in the first half (12-of-21) to build a lead against the Petrels. The Scots took a 26-14 lead with 4:32 left in the period after a Cooper layup capped an 11-2 scoring run. Heading into halftime, Covenant held a 35-20 advantage.

In the second half, Covenant continue to build its lead in the early minutes of the period. Blankenship knocked down a jumper that gave the Scots a 42-24 lead almost five minutes into the half.
