STILLWATER, Oklahoma -- Andrea Riley only scored four points in the first half, but the game was never in doubt for the Cowgirls.

When she tripled her point total in the second half, Oklahoma State ran away with the game and easily put away Western Illinois 68-55.

The Cowgirls built their lead early playing team basketball and moving the ball. Riley made up for her lack of scoring in the first half by dishing out 6 assists. Her teammates Lakyn Garrison and Tegan Cunningham cashed in on her early-game generosity by scoring 10 points each.

Riley finished the game with 22 points, 6 assists, and 5 steals to lead OSU past the Leathernecks.
