STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State (5-1) took advantage of 27 shots on goal as the Cowgirls shutout Southwest Missouri State, 4-0, Sunday afternoon at the OSU Soccer Complex.
OSU limited the Lady Bears (1-5) to only one shot on goal as the team improved to 3-0 at home.
Head Coach Karen Hancock was pleased with the team's performance in the second half.
"We start putting in the chances we were having in the second half and it was a confidence builder for some people who had had finishing woes. The win was good for team morale because all of our girls were able to play. The girls are playing well right now, we are 5-1 and we know we have the talent to go out and win matches."
Sophomore forward Andrea Larsen recorded her second multiple goal game of the season, with both coming in the second half.
Emily Hamilton scored the first goal of her collegiate career at the 36:16 mark in the first half when she fired a shot that was partially deflected by the Southwest Missouri State keeper and rolled in.
Larsen scored her first goal of the game at the 57:11 mark off an assist from sophomore Mercy Morrical.
Senior midfielder Melissa Wykes netted her fourth goal of the season just over a minute later off a cross by freshman Teri Marcum to make the score, 3-0. It was Wykes fourth straight game in which she has scored a goal.
Larsen capped off the scoring for OSU at the 63:23 mark when she took a rebounded shot and kicked it in for her fourth goal of the year.
Senior Chrystal Emerson and freshman Katy Johnson combined on OSU's second shutout of the season.
The Cowgirls will be back in action on Thursday, Sept. 24, when they host Texas-El Paso at 7 p.m. at the OSU Soccer Complex.
