Stat Speak
- OSU has outshot all but one of its opponents (Florida) this season, and the Cowgirls have outshot their opposition by a combined 122-83 count in 2015.
- Of OSU's 122 shots, 55 have been on goal for a .451 shots on goal percentage; its opponents own a .386 shots on goal percentage.
- Each of OSU's losses during its three-game losing streak was by a single goal. Late scores doomed the Cowgirls in two of those matches as No. 5 Florida scored a golden goal with 19 seconds left in overtime, while Washinghton State collected the game winner with just 2:06 left on the clock.
- Allie Stephenson's career shot total now stands at 181, with the senior midfielder needing 12 more attempts to move into the top five on OSU's all-time list.
- Michela Ongaro's shutout against Gonzaga was the sophomore's second of the season and sixth of her career.
- Courtney Dike's three goals and seven points on the year both rank in the top 10 in the Big 12. With 19 career goals, the junior is just two shy of cracking OSU's career top 10.
