STILLWATER, Okla. —Oklahoma State's women's basketball team suffered its second consecutive defeat on Wednesday night with a 67-52 loss to Kansas in front of 3,012 fans inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cowgirls (15-11 overall, 4-9 Big 12) never got on track offensively, hitting just 31 percent of their shots from the floor, while the Jayhawks (15-11, 4-9) connected on 51 percent of their shot attempts on the night.
OSU missed its first seven shots and was held scoreless for nearly six minutes to open the contest, but held KU in check for much of the half as well to stay within striking distance. The Cowgirls led 15-11 with just under six minutes remaining in the half before the Jayhawks closed the half on a 15-7 run to grab a 26-22 lead at the break.
KU used a 9-0 run in the second half to push the lead into double figures with seven minutes remaining before the Cowgirls began to chip away and get back in the game.
OSU trailed 54-52 with 3:11 remaining, but was held scoreless the rest of the way as the Jayhawks reeled off the game's final 13 points to extend the Cowgirls' home losing streak to six consecutive games.
KU's Danielle McCray led all scorers and rebounders with 30 points and 13 boards.
OSU junior Andrea Riley scored 18 points for the Cowgirls, while senior Shaunte' Smith was also in double figures with 13 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
OSU will return to action on Saturday when it takes on in-state rival Oklahoma at noon.
