LAS VEGAS – Oklahoma State's women's basketball team was dealt its first loss of the season on Wednesday night, suffering a 73-54 loss to Oregon State in the championship game at the Play4Kay Shootout at T-Mobile Arena.

The Cowgirls fell to 10-1, while the Beavers improved to 10-1 on the year.

OSU found success early on in the paint, getting 17 combined points from juniors Kaylee Jensen and Mandy Coleman in the first period to lead, 19-17.

Jensen scored five consecutive points early in the second quarter to stake the Cowgirls to a 24-19 lead. However, OSU would go cold down the stretch in the first half, enduring a 1-of-8 stretch that saw Oregon State move in front, 35-30.

For the half, Jensen scored 15 of her game-high 24 points and kept OSU within striking distance at 37-32.

Oregon State hit OSU with a quick 6-0 run to extend the lead in the third to nine and the Cowgirls would never recover. The Beavers used another 5-0 run a minute and a half into the final period to extend to a double-digit margin at 55-43.

Coleman joined Jensen in double figures with 15 points.

Mikayla Pivec was one of three Oregon State players to reach double figures, finishing with a team-high 17 points.

Jensen was named to the all-tournament team after averaging 22.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in three games at the event.
