The competitive play continued into the second quarter, with Asi getting going for the Cowgirls, scoring seven points in the period. Oklahoma State took a four-point lead to the halftime break.

In the third, the scoring picked up on both sides, with Kansas shooting 58.3 percent from the field while the Cowgirls scored 21 in the quarter. OSU would extend its lead to 52-45 heading into the fourth.
