The Oklahoma women took Wednesday off from practice, attending the funeral for an aunt of Jenna Plumley.
Inez Howlingwolf, the sister of Plumley's mother, Carol Plumley, died Saturday.
The entire team and coaching staff traveled to Red Rock for the services.
"Jenna and her family are a part of our family at OU,” Sooners coach Sherri Coale said through the OU media relations department. "We attended the funeral as a team to support them during this difficult time.
"Jenna's family wants to thank the OU community and fans for their thoughts and prayers. They have also asked for continued privacy.”
The Sooners also learned that former OU player Lauren Shoush lost her father, John Shoush, who died Tuesday night of a heart attack.
