Littell’s Ladies Move to WNIT Final

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Toni Young scored a season-high 27

points, Liz Donohoe added 20 points and 11 rebounds for her fourth

straight double-double and Oklahoma State advanced to the finals of

the Women’s NIT for the first time by beating San Diego 73-57 on

Wednesday night.

Attempting to win a championship at the end of a season marked

by the death of coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna in a

November plane crash, the Cowgirls (21-12) never trailed and were

up by at least 13 throughout the second half.

Young made four straight shots to give Oklahoma State a 51-31

lead with 15 minutes left, and the Toreros (26-9) could never mount

a comeback.

Morgan Woodrow led San Diego with 13 points and Dominique

Conners scored 11 before leaving with an apparent left knee injury

with just under 4 minutes remaining.
