Oklahoma State took a seven-point lead with 8:52 remaining in the first half on a jumper by Crow. The two teams see-sawed back and forth during the period, with OSU regaining the seven-point margin at halftime, 31-24.
Crow hit a three-pointer from the corner 1:12 into the second half to put the lead into double-digits, and the Cowgirls increased the lead to 15 on two occasions, the second at the 13:43 mark.
The Golden Eagles got the deficit down into single digits three times, the last being a nine-point margin at 52-43 with 7:32 remaining. But, OSU's Jessica Spinner scored six points over the next three minutes to put ORU away for good.
