NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Ashleigh Fontenette scored 21 points, Brittainey Raven added 17 points and Texas (No. 23 ESPN/USA Today, No. 17 AP) continued its rise in the Big 12 with a 75-57 victory against No. 13 Oklahoma on Wednesday night.

With Oklahoma point guard Danielle Robinson and center Abi Olajuwon both on the bench with four fouls, Texas (15-6, 4-3 Big 12) surged ahead with 12 straight points after the midway point of the second half. Erika Arriaran scored four in a row to give the Longhorns a nine-point lead and even Robinson's return didn't stem the tide for the Sooners.

Fontenette, Earnesia Williams and Raven cut inside for easy layups on consecutive possessions to push the lead to 56-41 with 6:54 remaining.

The Sooners (15-6, 5-3) could get no closer than 11 after that. Amanda Thompson led Oklahoma with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Robinson scored 16 before fouling out.

Texas snapped Oklahoma's 20-game winning streak at the Lloyd Noble Center by beating the Sooners for only the second time in the teams' last seven meetings. The Longhorns shot 50 percent and held a 42-32 advantage on the boards, winning for the fourth time in five games after an 0-2 start in Big 12 play.

The Sooners were outrebounded for the sixth time this season, falling to 1-5 in those games. They're 14-0 when controlling the glass.

The Longhorns never trailed but had to fend off two separate rallies by Oklahoma after they had built double-digit leads.

Texas rushed out to a 17-6 lead with some hot shooting early. The Longhorns made nine of their first 12 shots before cooling off to let the Sooners back in the game. Oklahoma cut it to 24-22 as Texas made just two of its next 13 field goals, but Raven scored the first five points in the Longhorns' 9-0 run to finish the first half.

The Sooners countered with nine straight points of their own early in the second half, getting within 35-33 on Carlee Roethlisberger's three-point play with 16:22 to play.
