Cowgirls Soccer Wins Pair of Spring Games

Oklahoma State's soccer team won a pair of spring soccer games today rallying to defeat Memphis, 3-1, before defeating SEC power Vanderbilt, 1-0, today in Decatur, Ala.

The Cowgirls trailed Memphis 1-0 early in the second half before rallying for three goals to down the Tigers. Adriane Radtke scored the equalizer on the first of two assists from Niccole Grimaldi. The Tigers then gave OSU the lead when they headed in a free kick by Jessica Jarrell into their own net. Siera Strawser netted the third goal off of a corner kick by Grimaldi.

OSU needed just the lone goal by Jarrell in the second game against Vanderbilt, backed by a strong effort from goalkeeper Erin Stigler. Jarrell scored on a header off of a corner kick by Grimaldi that was passed back across the goal by Yolanda Odenyo. It was Grimaldi's third assist of the day.

The Cowgirls wrap up the spring season in two weeks against Ole Miss and Oral Roberts in Bixby, Okla. It will be a homecoming for Strawser who helped lead Bixby High School to the state championship game in 2006.
