SAN JOSE, Calif. — Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale had a tough time summing it up, still stunned by her team's remarkable rally. California coach Joanne Boyle broke down, emotionally spent and embarrassed.

"One of the craziest games I've ever been a part of," Coale said. "Complete role reversal from one half to the other."

Reserve Nyeshia Stevenson hit back-to-back 3-pointers and gave Oklahoma its first lead of the game with 3:43 to play, and the fifth-ranked Sooners made an improbable comeback from a 26-point halftime deficit to shock No. 9 Cal, 86-75, last night in the Basketball By The Bay Classic.

Cal led 69-52 before Oklahoma (8-2) closed the game with a 34-6 run.

Stevenson finished with 21 points and Courtney Paris had 18 points and 13 rebounds to extend her consecutive streak of double-doubles dating to her freshman season to 102.

Cal's focus this season has been on finishing. Especially after the Bears (6-2) lost a heartbreaker to George Washington at the final buzzer in the second round of the NCAA tournament last season.

"It's the thing that we wanted to improve on," said Boyle. "I told them in there, I've never as a coach lost a 30-point lead, so I obviously didn't do my job to coach to prepare them to be in that situation."

NO. 8 NOTRE DAME 63, VALPARAISO 55

VALPARAISO, Ind. — Melissa Lechlitner scored 12 of her 18 points in the second half and Ashley Barlow added 15, including a key 3-pointer, as the Fighting Irish (8-1) sealed the win over the Crusaders (4-3) with a 13-4 run.
