About the Cowgirls
The Cowgirls return five letterwinners from last year's squad, which finished with a 13-12 record and reached the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal.
Oklahoma State enters its third match of the year with a 1-1 record after one weekend of play.
The Cowgirls dropped their season-opening dual match Jan. 23 to No. 19 Arkansas, 7-0, before responding with a 6-1 win over Saint Louis the following day.
Oklahoma State was scheduled to play Oral Roberts twice on Jan. 30, but the matches were canceled due to inclement weather.

UCO finished with a 14-8 record last season, making its second consecutive appearance in the national tournament.
