Oklahoma State led 41-33 four minutes into the second half. But, SMU went on a 14-5 run and took the lead at 46-45 with 9:32 left in the game. It was all Mustangs from that point on, as SMU outscored the Cowgirls, 25-11, in the final 9-1/2 minutes.
Sophomore Karlin Kennedy was the leading scorer for the game with 24 points, including 18 in the first half. Megan Woods added two key three pointers during the second stanza to put the Cowgirls away.
