Gray finished the half with 14 points.
The Lady Panthers hit five of their first six shots after the break, but the Cowgirls would extend their margin with a 26-point frame to take a 75-34 lead into the final period.
OSU would erupt for 30 points in the final period to crack the century mark for the fourth time on the season and extends its school mark for 100-point outings in a season.
Gray would finish with a game-high 25 points, while Timmer scored 20. Achol Akot logged her second double-double as a Cowgirl, finishing with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Lena Girardi scored 15 and Jadyn Wooten added 11 with eight assists.
