The Cowgirls, who have won three Big 12 Conference road games for the first time since 2009-10, lost to the Mountaineers 67-61 on Jan. 29 in Stillwater and were coming off Sunday's 80-61 loss at No. 23 Oklahoma.

Oklahoma State (17-6, 6-6 Big 12) trailed 22-20 when Toni Young's layup and jumper sparked a 10-0 run en route to a 35-25 halftime lead.

The Mountaineers trimmed the deficit to 37-35 on Christal Caldwell's 3-pointer, but Martin answered with a trey to launch a 10-2 spurt.

Tiffany Bias scored 14 points, and with two steals became the third Cowgirl to reach 1,000 points, 500 assists and 200 steals. Young added 12 points and 16 rebounds for her 31st career double-double.

Averee Fields' 21 points paced the Mountaineers (14-10, 6-7).
