STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State shot 56 percent (42-of-75) from the field and four starters scored in double figures as the Cowgirls defeated ULM, 112-58, Thursday, Dec. 21 in Gallagher-Iba Arena. OSU (9-2) eclipsed the century mark for the second-straight game and the 112 points matched its single-game scoring record (previous: vs. Tulsa, February 1978).
 
ULM's only lead came at 2-1 on Arsula Clark's jumper in the lane 29 seconds into the game. OSU answered with a 15-3 run and took a 16-5 lead on a three-pointer from Jaden Hobbs. The Cowgirls got 12 first-quarter points from Loryn Goodwin and her jumper at the buzzer gave OSU a 25-12 advantage.
 
The Cowgirls took control of the game with a 25-8 spurt to open the second quarter. OSU hit 63 percent (12-of-19) of its field-goal attempts, including 4-of-6 from three-point range, while scoring a school-record 35 points in the quarter en route to a 60-29 halftime lead.
 
The Warhawks were outscored, 33-13, in the third quarter. OSU reached the century mark on Abbie Winchester's layup with 7:04 left in the fourth quarter and built its largest lead at 105-48 on Shakila Small's layup with 5:51 to play.
 
OSU outrebounded ULM, 44-26, and outscored the Warhawks in fast-break points, 23-2.
 
"Clearly, Oklahoma State is an outstanding team that will be cracking the Top 25 soon, and I would suspect they'll be in the hunt for the Big 12 Championship," ULM head coach Jeff Dow said. "They've averaged 110 points in their last two games and have a terrific balance with the inside play of their senior post players Kaylee Jensen and Mandy Coleman, combined with sixth-year senior point guard Loryn Goodwin. It's pretty apparent why they were able to beat then-seventh ranked UCLA so handily, and why their only two losses have come on the road to two undefeated teams, in Mississippi State and Tennessee.
 
"I understand the length and size advantage they had, but nonetheless, we have to find a way to come up with more than three offensive rebounds. Defensively, we need to make significant improvement in getting back in transition on a consistent basis. Both of those are effort based to an extent and things we have to commit to every game."
 
Goodwin scored a game-high 27 points to pace the Cowgirls. She connected on 10-of-15 field-goal attempts, including 2-of-3 from behind the three-point arc, grabbed seven records and recorded eight assists in 24 minutes.
 
OSU also got 14 points from Braxtin Combs, 11 from Areanna Combs (6 steals) and 11 from Kaylee Jensen.
 
Gabriella Cortez led ULM with 10 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes. Clark and London Archer contributed eight points each.
 
ULM opens Sun Belt play with a two-game road trip to Arkansas State (Dec. 29 at 5 p.m.) and Little Rock (Dec. 31 at 2 p.m.).
