OSU maintained its double-digit lead throughout the second and got a pair of 3-pointers from Anna Gret Asi to stretch the margin to 18 at 42-24 with 90 seconds left in the half.
Naomie Alnatas would score the final points of the half for either side with 24 seconds to go to give OSU a 44-27 advantage heading into the break.
Baylor used a 6-0 spurt to get within 12 at the 4:41 mark of the third quarter before OSU countered with a quick 10-0 run capped by another 3-pointer from Asi and a trey from Lior Garzon, which saw the lead swell to 22 at 58-36.
OSU would lead, 61-38, after three quarters.
The Cowgirls pushed their lead to 24 twice early in the fourth and Baylor never got closer than 18 the rest of the way.
Asi finished with a team-high 15 points, while Terryn Milton and Garzon added 14 apiece. Alnatas scored 13 points in the winning effort. Taylen Collins recorded her second consecutive double-double, finishing with 11 points and 13 rebounds.
