TEMPE, Ariz. – Ruby Meylan dominated in the circle to power the No. 21/15 Oklahoma State softball team past No. 25/RV Arizona State, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon at Farrington Field. 

OSU improved to 18-9 and 2-4 in conference play while ASU dropped to 22-7 and 2-4 in the Big 12. 

The Cowgirls struck first in the top of the second inning when Rosie Davis doubled to right-center field to drive in two runs. OSU added two more runs in the fifth. Karli Godwin's infield single drove in Davis for the first run of the inning, and the final run scored on a wild pitch that allowed Gabby Castillo to cross the plate.
