TULSA — 17 points from Audi Crooks and 15 rebounds by Stailee Heard wasn't enough as the No. 22/19 Oklahoma State women's basketball team dropped its first contest of the season in an overtime road loss at Tulsa, 64-62, Thursday night in the Donald W. Reynolds Center.
The Cowgirls move to 3-1 on the season, while the Golden Hurricane improve to 2-1.
After two free throws from Tulsa's Mady Cartwright tied the game with 58 seconds remaining in regulation, both teams missed their game-winning attempts in the fourth quarter, sending the game to overtime.
The Cowgirls trailed by as many as seven in OT before tying at 62 apiece with 1:06 remaining after a putback from Crooks. A pair of free throws from TU's Alexa Kinas put the Golden Hurricane ahead with just 36 seconds left, and the Cowgirls couldn't convert their game-tying attempt.
The contest was back-and-forth from the jump as TU took a 16-14 lead in the first quarter and pushed the gap to four points by halftime, with OSU trailing 22-26. Heard tallied 11 of her 15 rebounds on the night in the first half, while Crooks led the Pokes with eight points in the first 20 minutes.
OSU took its first lead since the first frame halfway through the third quarter, however, neither team was able to get much separation in a contest that featured nine lead changes, 37 combined fouls and 38 combined turnovers. From there, the teams essentially traded buckets until the Golden Hurricane jumped out to a seven-point lead in overtime.
Crooks led OSU with 17 points, joined by Liv McGill who also reached double-digit scoring (13 points). Heard finished the game with 15 rebounds, two shy of her career record.
The Cowgirls stay on the road for a matchup against South Dakota State at 1 p.m. on November 15 in Brookings, South Dakota. The game will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.
