Oklahoma State outscored Tulsa 21-12 in the final quarter, but the Golden Hurricane held on for a 69-62 win over the Cowgirls on Sunday afternoon at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla. TU moved to 1-0 on the season, while the Cowgirls fell to 3-2 overall.
"It seems like it took forever to get here," Tulsa Head Coach Matilda Mossman said. "Until you put your team out there against another team you don't know what you have. This game gives us a lot of confidence. We started two freshmen and a junior-transfer who hasn't play in a year, so we knew we'd have a group that would compete, but we didn't know what to expect with our first game of the year.
