Cowgirls spur the Vaqueros
The Cowgirls found their range Sunday afternoon in Stillwater as Karli Wheeler and Mandy Coleman led Oklahoma State to its eighth win of the season against UT Rio Grande Valley.
With the fall semester behind them, OSU came out aggressive and took advantage of Rio Grande Valley’s passive defense en route to an 86-53 victory.
Wheeler finished with a career-high 29 points on 11-for-17 shooting from the field and 6-for-9 behind the arc. She also pulled down eight rebounds along with two assists and no turnovers.
Wheeler said the defense was playing off her so she found the confidence in her shot and let it fly.
“When I was hitting, I just gained confidence and kept shooting,” Wheeler said.
