The win was the fifth in a row for the Cowgirls, who improved to 15-2-2 overall and finished with an 8-1-0 record in Big 12 play. OSU was picked to finish sixth in a preseason vote of the league's head coaches.

The match saw OSU control much of the play and outshoot the Longhorns (13-2-2, 5-2-2) by a 16-13 margin, including an attempt by Jaci Jones that caromed off the crossbar with just 83 seconds remaining in regulation.

The goal was Tresfield's second of the season, while Beffer added to her Big 12-best assist total with her 10th of the year.
