Highlights
STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State's women's basketball team bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 75-63 win over SMU on Monday night inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
SMU (0-3) led the majority of the first connecting on three of its eight attempts from beyond the arc. The Mustangs forced the Cowgirls (3-1) into three turnovers and a 1-of-8 effort from the floor over the last three minutes to lead 15-11 through the first 10 minutes.
The SMU lead grew to 20-13 in the second before freshman Lexy Keys drilled back-to-back treys to fuel an 12-0 run over a five-minute span to move the Cowgirls back in front, 25-20. However, the Mustangs would hold OSU without a field goal over the final two-plus minutes of the half to cut the Cowgirl margin to 31-29 at the break.
OSU scored eight of the first 10 in the second half to extend the margin and pushed the margin to double figures at 47-37 after a blocked shot by freshman Taylen Collins led to a transition basket at the offensive end.
Ja'Mee Asberry finished with 10 points in the quarter as OSU took a 57-49 lead into the final 10 minutes.
Senior Natasha Mack recorded her 20th career double-double, finishing with a game-high 18 points and 11 rebounds to go with six blocked shots.
Asberry added 14 points, while junior Brittany Reeves also finished in double figures with 11.
OSU shot 53 percent from the floor in the contest.
The Cowgirls will close out their five-game homestand on Dec. 13 when Tulsa comes to town for a 2 p.m. contest.
