"I guarantee that this won't be the last time this happens," Demo said. "I'm not saying we're going to be next year, but it will happen again."
"I would like to say that it didn't, but I think it did," she said. "You just have to give to Kansas. You played very well and we didn't."
The Cowboys were the favorites to repeat for their seventh consecutive title, Oklahoma State coach Ann Pitts said the pressure of being the favorite might have hindered her team's performance.
The Jayhawks finished with a three-round score of 936, while Oklahoma State shot a 938.
"This is something we had talked about doing in four years." Kansas senior Donna Lowen said, "But we did it in two."
Missouri and Oklahoma finished tied for third. The Tigers and the Sooners each shot a three-round 98, 32 strokes behind Kansas.
Demo said playing on the Jayhawks' home course helped a lot.
"It was definitely to our advantage," he said. "It came down to a putting tournament, and we were there." It was a great tournament for us.
Kansas played consistently in all three rounds. Kansas shot a 312 in the first round, a 311 in the second round and a final round of 313.
"I just can't believe it," Jayhawk sophomore Sheli Trellip said. "We work really hard for this, and it's nice to see if nav off."
Marnie McGuire from Oklahoma State took first place in the individual competition. McGuire, who finished with a 230, birdied the

"I felt really good," Lewen said.
"I kept playing my game, but my team gave a really good effort."
Kansas had two other golfers place in the top ten. Triplett, who had been in second place after Monday, finished in a fifth-place match with Oklahomia's Stephen Martin. Each player shot a total score of 235.
"I was just trying to finish strong," Trippet said. "I knew my team needed me, and I knew I had to make it for the team."
Sophomore Laura Myers finished tied for eighth place with three other golfers.
Although Kansas golfer Laura Myers missed a putt on the 18th hole, Kansas won the Big Eight Conference Tournament.
Wildcats may play in Moscow
The Associated Press
"Neither one's a done deal, but there's a strong possibility for us to do that." Synder said.
MANHATTAN — Kansas State is negotiating to play a regular season football game in Moscow next season. The team will be joined by coach Bill Synder said yesterday.
No U.S. college football game has been played in the Soviet Union. A proposed deal last season to pit Illinois against Southern California in Moscow fell through because of financial difficulties.
K-State athletic director Jim Epps said guarantees be sought by promoters might scuttle proposals, because he was upbeat about the chances.
The Wildcats would play Oklahoma in Moscow under the预案, Epps said. Northern Illinois likely would be one of the teams in the game in Italy. Synder said it was not probable that K-State would be in both games.
Both games probably would be played during the last weekend in November.
Epps said Dover Marketing Inc. of Atlanta had asked for a combined guaranteed booking from Oklahoma and K-State of 800 fan packages. Epps said he thought the trip to would cost each fan about $4,000.
Dover Marketing also is trying to put together a Big Eight basketball series with the Soviet Union.
Epsa said the Italian game would cost $1,500 a person and that the promoter, WorldTech Travel of New Haven, Haven., hadadited a guarantee of 500 fan bookings from each school.

"I know that our fans would have been disappointed had the same thing happe.ned here," Buss quoted as saying in the statement.
