STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's women's basketball team won its second consecutive home game on Wednesday night, shooting past Texas Tech with a 75-62 win in front of 1,783 fans inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.

With the win, the Cowgirls split the season series with the Lady Raiders and improved to 15-12 overall and 5-11 in Big 12 play. Tech fell to 12-15 and 4-12.

OSU raced out to a 19-7 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, extending its lead to as many as 16 in the second quarter before taking a 38-25 lead into halftime.

With 6:48 to go in the third quarter, Tech hit a 3-pointer to cut the margin to 44-37 before OSU answered with an 11-2 run over the next three minutes.
