The Cowgirls got as close as five points during the third quarter before Ohio State increased the lead to 54-44 after 30 minutes. The Buckeyes won the fourth quarter, 21-13, to wrap up scoring at 75-57.
Cotie McMahon reached 10 points when Oklahoma State had two as a team and finished with 14 points on the night.
