The last time the Cowgirls played in Gallagher-Iba, they cut down the nets to celebrate a WNIT championship. This time, they will experience their only tuneup before officially opening the season at 5:30 p.m. Friday against Cal Poly, part of a doubleheader with the men’s team, which hosts UCDavis after the women’s game.

Coming off a 22-12 record, OSU returns second-team All-Big 12 point guard Tiffany Bias, who averaged 6.7 assists per game last season, and Big 12 freshman of the year Liz Donohoe, who led the team in scoring in 12 games.

The Division II Bronchos went 1-1 in their previous exhibitions, including a 69-33 defeat Sunday at Wichita State in which they shot 28.6 percent from the field. UCO has reached 20 wins in four of the past five seasons.

All but one of UCO’s players are from Oklahoma. The team includes former area standouts Jill and Hayley Bryan of Copan, Savannah Hamilton of Preston, Audra Harris of Beggs and Chelsi Dennis of Broken Arrow.
