LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -Andrea Riley scored 24 points and Shaunte Smith added 20, leading No. 17 Oklahoma State over Nebraska 92-81 on Sunday.
Coming off a 10-point win over fifth-ranked Baylor, the Cowgirls took advantage of Nebraska's dismal shooting beyond the arc and built up a 31-point lead in the second half. The Cornhuskers responded with a 17-0 run, but could not close the gap.
Nebraska (17-7, 6-4 Big 12) pulled to within nine points on Danielle Page's layup with just over a minute left, but Oklahoma State made nine of 10 free throws the rest of the way.
In addition to Riley and Smith, Oklahoma State (19-3, 7-2) had four players score in double-figures. Taylor Hardeman scored 14 points, Maria Cordero had 12 and Danielle Green and Kristin Hernandez added 10 each.
Kelsey Griffin scored 16 points for the Huskers but was a relative non-factor in the second half, scoring her first points with less than 4 minutes to play. A trio of Huskers, Yvonne Turner, Cory Montgomery and Page, scored 18 points each.
Oklahoma State shot 48 percent from 3-point range, an average brought down by Riley's eight misses in 11 attempts. Hardeman was 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
Nebraska shot 47 percent overall and 24 percent from 3-point range.
