STILLWATER, Okla.Â–Oklahoma State's women's basketball team overcame a tough night at the offensive end of the floor on Tuesday to defeat Oral Roberts, 58-48, in front of 2,371 fans inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.

The Cowgirls (5-2) entered the contest averaging 78 points per game, but were held to a 31 percent shooting effort on the night from the floor.

The Golden Eagles (5-5) also held the Big 12's leading scorer, Andrea Riley in check. The OSU junior scored a season-low 14 points and was one of just two Cowgirls to finish in double figures.
