They call it March Madness for a reason, as fans were holding their breath all game long. The Cowgirls took it to the Bulldogs and punched them in the mouth early. Oklahoma State’s Braxtin Miller, Mandy Coleman, Kaylee Jensen, Loryn Goodwin accounted for all the Cowgirls’ points, but it wasn’t enough to stop Mississippi State’s Teaira McCowan, Roshunda Johnson, Blair Schaefer, William, and Victoria Vivians. While Oklahoma State gave the Bulldogs all they could handle, it came down to who wanted it more, as Mississippi State took adversity by the horns and rose above it.
Vivians set the tone with the game’s first shot from three, but Goodwin’s layup ignited Oklahoma State, as the Cowgirls were quick to set a tone of their own.
