STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's Katie Richardson picked up a pair of accolades for her performances in leading the No. 5 Cowgirls to wins over Colorado and Nebraska last week.
On Monday, Richardson was named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Women's Team of the Week, and today she was honored as the Big 12 Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week for games played from Oct. 14-17.
A senior forward from Broken Arrow, Okla., Richardson recorded three goals and an assist on the weekend as she helped OSU remain perfect in Big 12 play and also tie a school record by extending its unbeaten streak to 13 matches.
In Friday's 3-2 win over Colorado, Richardson recorded a pair of goals, including the game winner in the 59th minute with a spectacular individual effort in which beat several defenders and the goalie for the score. The two-goal performance was Richardson's first of the season and fourth of her career.
Following the game, OSU head coach Colin Carmichael said of Richardson, “She was fantastic. She stepped up in the second half and won us the game. The second goal was basically just an individual effort. She just wanted that goal more than the defenders wanted the ball. We told her after the game she won the game for us — no doubt about it.”
On Saturday, Richardson had an assist and a goal in the Cowgirls' 4-2 win against Nebraska.
With her performances over the weekend, Richardson moved into the top 10 on OSU's career charts for goals (18) and points (49). She is second on the team with five goals in 2010, and her four assists leads the Cowgirls.
