Cowgirls Cruise In Bedlam

Liz Donohoe had 15 points and 11 rebounds to help propel No. 12 Oklahoma State to a resounding 73-57 victory against Oklahoma on Sunday.

Kendra Suttles scored 13 points and Tiffany Bias had 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals for the Cowgirls (20-4, 9-4 Big 12), who avenged an 81-74 loss in Norman on Feb. 1. Oklahoma State won the rebounding battle 48-31 and held the Sooners to 33 percent shooting. The Cowgirls, who had lost two of three coming in, never trailed.

"I'm very proud of our team. I'm very excited about the way we started the basketball game, and the way we started the second half," OSU coach Jim Littell said. "We tell our players all the time that you can win a lot of games in the first five minutes of the game, or the first five minutes of the second half. I thought we came out, executed very well, played extremely hard and got back to Cowgirl basketball a little bit."

Nicole Kornet scored 14 points for Oklahoma, her second-best point total of the season. Aaryn Ellenberg, the Sooners' top scorer this season, left the game with 5:32 remaining after a hard screen from Suttles and did not return. Sharane Campbell, who scored a career-high 28 points in the previous meeting, finished with six for the Sooners (15-11, 6-7).

OSU retired Andrea Riley's jersey at halftime. She is OSU's all-time leading scorer.
