LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Natalie Ritchie scored a career-high 27 points and made a school-record eight 3-pointers to lead No. 2 Texas Tech over Oklahoma State 106-43 Saturday night.
Ritchie's final 3-pointer, with 7:10 remaining, gave Tech (15-0, 1-0 Big 12) an 88-38 lead.
The Lady Raiders scored 29 straight points in the first half to go up 33-4 and led 54-14 at halftime. Oklahoma State (6-7, 1-1) got no closer than 40 points after that.
Jia Perkins added 21 points for the Lady Raiders, while Jametra Clark and Alesha Robertson scored 15 each.
Trisha Skibbe and Christian Hood led the Cowgirls with 13 points each. Eliz Gomes finished with 11.
Tech set a school record with 14 3-pointers.
Ritchie connected on 10 consecutive 3-pointers dating to the Lady Raiders' last game, but her streak ended midway through the second half when she had an attempt blocked. She finished 8-of-10.
A 3-pointer by Robertson with 4:32 left established the team record, breaking the previous mark of 12.
Tech's Erin Grant also matched her career high with 14 assists.
Tech's largest lead was 63, on two occasions, the last with 16.8 seconds left on two free throws by Brooke Baughman.
