SHAWNEE, Okla. - Rogers State's women's basketball team saved the best for last.
 

The Hillcats made everything look easy on the final night of the regular season as they disposed of St. Gregory's 84-50 at W. P. Wood Field House in Shawnee Thursday.
 

Freshman guard Hunter Peterson led the charge with a career-high 24 points. She set a new benchmark for individual scoring by a Hillcat with a near-perfect performance. The Jenks High School product went 8-for-8 from the field, 4-for-4 from 3-point range and hit 4-of-5 free throws.
 

The Lady Cavs kept the game tight for most of the first half. However, RSU closed the period on a 17-3 run capped by a 19-foot jumper by Hannah Owen at the halftime buzzer. The Hillcats shot a scorching 67-percent from the floor in the first half and led 44-26 at the break.
 

A fifteen minute halftime break couldn't cool down the Cats. They opened the second half on an 11-1 run. RSU doubled up the Lady Cavs, 60-30 on a Peterson 3-pointer with 15:00 remaining. Peterson hit three treys in the second half as she obliterated her previous career-high of 13 points. Fellow freshman Katie Rice added 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting.
 

Eleven different Hillcats scored at least one basket in the game. RSU made 8-of-12 attempts from 3-point range and shot 80-percent from the free throw line. The Cats also outrebounded St. Gregory's 41-21 in the contest.
 

Rogers State (13-17, 9-13) earned a share of seventh place in the final Sooner Athletic Conference standings with the win. The Hillcats lost out to Wayland Baptist on a tie-breaker and will play as the eight seed in next week's conference tournament at Oklahoma Christian. RSU will play ninth-seeded John Brown in the opening round on Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. and the game will be carried live on RSU Radio 91.3 FM.
