October 06, 2004 | Cowgirl Soccer
Oklahoma State wraps up a four-game road swing this weekend, traveling to Texas Tech and Baylor.

OSU will face Tech at 7 p.m. on Friday and conclude the weekend with a 1 p.m. match at Baylor on Sunday. Live stats will be available for Sunday's game at Baylor game on www. okstate.com.
The series between the Cowgirls and Red Raiders is tied 4-4-0 but OSU has won the last three meetings. The Cowgirls posted a 6-0 shutout in 2003 and earned a 2-1 win on their last trip to Lubbock. Baylor leads the all-time series with Oklahoma State 5-2-0 but the Cowgirls have held the Bears scoreless in the previous two meetings. The last time the Cowgirls traveled to Waco they were on the wrong end of a 3-2 overtime decision.
