NORMAN — The Oklahoma Sooners women’s basketball team is heading to the Sweet 16 for the 11th time in school history, and the first in 12 years.

After the Sooners routed Florida Gulf Coast 81-58 in Saturday’s NCAA Tournament opener at Lloyd Noble Center, they did the same to Iowa by a final of 96-62 on Monday night to advance to the Spokane Regional Final Four, where they will meet Connecticut on Saturday.

In the win over Florida Gulf Coast, Raegan Beers had 25 points and 18 rebounds, and No. 3 seed OU dominated the fourth quarter. The Sooners led 55–48 entering the fourth, then outscored the Eagles 26-10 in the final period.

Beers, a 6-foot-4 center, towered over a team with no starter taller than 5-9. She helped the Sooners outrebounded the Eagles 72-35. The Sooners’ 72 total rebounds set an NCAA Tournament record.

Skylar Vann scored 24 points and Payton Verhulst added 13 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Sooners (27-7).

In the victory over Iowa, which is OU coach Jennie Baranczyk’s alma mater, Vann scored 17 points and Verhulst added 16 points. Beers had 11 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in just 18 minutes for the Sooners.
