"I felt like we did a good job of making Cossatot take contested shots they weren't comforatable taking along with limiting them to one shot a possession," said Fisher.

The Cowgirls will open up conference play on Monday evening at 5:30 pm in Melvin Self Fieldhouse against (1-2) Western Oklahoma State College. The Cowgirls are excited to jump into conference play that will be consist of 16 games in the next two months.
