STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State's Toni Young suffered a season-ending arm injury during the Cowgirls' practice on Friday.
A sophomore from Del City, Okla., Young was injured following a two-handed dunk during OSU's workout inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
"It was a tremendous dunk. She had five or six really spectacular ones today and I think it was her best of the year. Unfortunately, she came down wrong and injured herself," OSU head coach Kurt Budke said. "I hate it for Toni and I hate it for our team. We overcame Vicky's (McIntyre) absence against Pepperdine and someone will have to step up if we are going to win against a quality Wyoming team."
Coming off a career-high 34-point outing in OSU's first-round WNIT win over the Waves on Wednesday, Young leads the Big 12 in double-doubles with 14 and rebounding at 9.1 per game. A second-team All-Big 12 pick, she is also the squad's leading scorer at 15.5 points per contest.
The Cowgirls (17-14) will travel to Laramie, Wyo., to take on Wyoming at 8 p.m. (CST) on Monday in the second round of the WNIT.
