STILLWATER, Okla. — Danielle Green scored a season-high 22 points, Andrea Riley added 19 points and No. 24 Oklahoma State beat Oral Roberts for its 22nd straight nonconference home win.

Oral Roberts cut it to 54-44 when Jenny Hardin capped a run of six straight points midway through the second half, but Oklahoma State responded immediately with a 15-5 surge to put the game away.
Maria Cordero’s three-point play with 6:26 remaining gave Oklahoma State a 69-49 cushion.
The Golden Eagles (7-5), the defending champions of the newly renamed Summit League, got steady production inside from the tandem of Janae Voelker and Hardin.
Voelker scored a career-best 23 points before fouling out with 2:52 left, and Hardin had 17 points and nine rebounds. The Golden Eagles have lost three straight games.
Cordero finished with 15 points.
Oklahoma State pulled away with a 19-3 run before the close of the first half, building a 44-26 edge when Kristin Hernandez weaved her way into the lane and converted a layup. Mariana Camargo ended a 5-minute field goal drought for Oral Roberts with a layup at the halftime buzzer.
