However, a late layup by Jadyn Wooten with three seconds remaining gave Oklahoma State a 17-13 lead at the end of the quarter.

Oklahoma State extended their lead early in the second quarter with a 3-pointer from Lena Girardi at 9:51, assisted by Wooten. Tulsa struggled to find their rhythm, committing multiple turnovers, which allowed the Cowgirls to capitalize. Akot added two free throws at 8:36, bringing the score to 22-13. Cartwright responded with a fast break layup at 6:44, but Oklahoma State's defense forced 11 turnovers in the quarter, limiting the Golden Hurricane's scoring opportunities. Girardi further widened the gap with another 3-pointer at 1:58, concluding the quarter with Oklahoma State leading, 41-19.

The third quarter featured strong performances from both teams, with Tulsa outscoring Oklahoma State 24-20. Tulsa's Jade Clack contributed a 3-pointer and assisted on a Riddick layup early in the period. Amari Whiting of Oklahoma State responded with a layup and a 3-pointer, maintaining their lead. Despite Grays scoring six points from the free-throw line, the Cowgirls held their advantage, ending the quarter with a free throw from Wooten to secure a 61-43 lead.

Oklahoma State dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring Tulsa 29-15 to secure a 90-58 victory. The Golden Hurricane struggled with turnovers, committing six in the period, while Oklahoma State capitalized with five steals. Gray was instrumental for the Cowgirls, contributing multiple layups, including a fast-break score at 8:32, extending their lead significantly. Clack managed to break through with a layup at 7:05, but Oklahoma State's efficient shooting, including a 3-pointer from Whiting at 2:07, kept them in control. The game concluded with a 3-pointer from Tulsa's Haven Fisher at the 16-second mark, but it was not enough to close the gap.
