NORMAN – Taylor Robertson broke the OU single-season 3-pointers record with her 116th trey of the season as the Oklahoma women's basketball team battled Kansas State to overtime, but fell to the Wildcats 87-85 Sunday in the annual Play 4 Kay game.

With the loss, OU moves to 12-13 on the season and 5-8 against the Big 12. K-State improves to 12-11 overall and 6-6 in league play.

"It was a great day for women's basketball," said head coach Sherri Coale. "The platform that we had to honor survivors and raise awareness for the fight against all women's cancer, I hope we raised money for the Kay Cancer fund.

I thought the crowd was fantastic, we had a reception with over three hundred survivors who teach us so much about grace, humility and courage. It's a celebration and a fight, which we should try and do as athletes every day, celebrate the opportunities and fight with a competitive spirit. It's just an honor to be involved with that."

Robertson finished the day with 27 points and went 4-for-8 from beyond the arc as she played all 45 minutes of the contest. The sophomore added seven rebounds and two assists.

Robertson's third trey of the game moved her into first place for the most 3s in a single season, surpassing Aaryn Ellenburg's record of 115 set in 2012-13. With 116 triples this year, Robertson holds the Big 12 sophomore record and is the only player in league history to hit 100 3-pointers in back-to-back seasons.

Gabby Gregory scored a career-high 20 points and sank three treys herself in the effort. Madi Williams joined Robertson and Gregory in double figures with 15 and nine boards.

Kansas State's Peyton Williams led all scorers with 31 points and 19 rebounds for a double-double. Ayoka Lee also had a double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds.

A back-and-forth battle saw 12 ties and 12 lead changes. The game was tied at 75-all at the end of regulation. OU struck first in overtime with a layup from Robertson, but Kansas State narrowly outscored the Sooners 12-10 in overtime to claim the win.
