To open up for the Cowgirls in the first quarter, sophomore Braxtin Miller knocked down back-to-back jumpers and was able to hit a three on the left wing. Miller shot 3-of-4 in the quarter and helped OSU to a 9-7 lead.

The Shockers hit an early three and got a lay in to take the lead at 12-9, but two put back layups from Miller and freshman Kassidy De Lapp combated the early run. Wichita State had two late layups to close the lead in, but Miller hit a turnaround jumper before the buzzer at half to give herself a total of 11 points in the second quarter and the Cowgirls the lead at 29-23 going into half.

Opening the second half, sophomore Vivian Gray continued the aggression on the glass grabbing an offensive board and laid it back in, but the Shockers answered with a jumper. Miller had her jumper blocked, but senior LaTashia Jones grabbed her 11th board to keep the possession alive where Miller eventually knocked down a 3-pointer.

Redshirt freshman Ja'Mee Asberry got into the mix in the third quarter hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to increase the Cowgirls lead to 43-31. Gray and Miller hit a pair at the charity stripe and to cushion the lead, but a steal and fastbreak layup from the Shockers made it 47-34 in favor of the Cowgirls heading into the fourth quarter.
