The Cowgirls (9-0) went on a 15-4 run early in the opening half and took a 24-9 lead after back-to-back three-pointers by Taylor Hardeman. Oklahoma State scored nine straight points to close the period and held a 38-18 advantage at halftime. Oklahoma State, which will travel to Kansas University for its Big 12 opener on Jan. 9, has won 23 consecutive home games against nonconference opponents.
