About Oklahoma State
   • No. 12 Oklahoma State closes out the home portion of its 2020 schedule Friday night when the Cowgirls host Texas Tech. OSU is 4-2-1 on the season and in third place in the Big 12 Conference standings.
   • The Cowgirls are coming off a championship season in 2019 as they went 16-3-3 overall and claimed the Big 12 Conference regular season title with a 7-1-1 league mark. OSU advanced to the second round of the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship and finished ranked as high as No. 13 nationally.
   • The Cowgirls return 16 letterwinners from 2019, including eight players who started at least 10 games.
   • The 2020 season is the 25th in program history; over the first 24, OSU posted a 289-164-54 (.623) record. Head coach Colin Carmichael entered his 16th season at the helm in 2020 with a 206-84-41 mark.Â
Â
Winning Is A Habit
    Now in its 25th season, Oklahoma State soccer has built itself into an established winner.
   • OSU has earned a berth in the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship 11 of the last 14 years (beginning in 2006) and five of the last seven.
   • From 2006-11, the Cowgirls earned six-straight NCAA tourney bids and advanced to at least the second round each time, including back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in 2010 and 2011.Â
   • From 2008-11, OSU celebrated four consecutive Big 12 championships — two regular season (2008, '11) and two tournament ('09, '10). The Cowgirls also won regular season titles in 2017 and 2019.
Â
7th Heaven
           Oklahoma State captured the seventh Big 12 Conference championship in program history with its 2019 regular season title. It marked the fourth regular season crown for the Cowgirls and second in the last three years; OSU also won regular season championships in 2008, 2011 and 2017.
   OSU opened '19 Big 12 play with a loss at Texas Tech before a tie at TCU. Following that opening weekend, the Cowgirls won seven consecutive games to claim the title.
Â
This Week's Opponent
   • Texas Tech is 1-3-2 on the season and coming off its first win of the season last week against Iowa State in Lubbock.
   • OSU is 15-8-4 in the all-time series with TTU but has not beaten the Red Raiders since 2017.Â
   Last 3 Meetings
   2019 - TTU 1, OSU 0 (Lubbock)

Â
Award TourÂ
   OSU had a league-high three players named to the 2020 Preseason All-Big 12 Soccer Team, which was selected by the conference's head coaches.
   Cowgirls Olyvia Dowell, Kim Rodriguez and Grace Yochum each received recognition on the 11-person preseason squad. Texas Tech also had three players on the list.
   In 2019, OSU collected its most all-conference selections in eight years — and its second most all time — while Colin Carmichael was named the league's top coach for a record sixth time.
   Five Cowgirls garnered 2019 All-Big 12 honors, the most for OSU since a program-record seven in 2011. Only three times in school history have five or more Cowgirls earned all-league recognition (2010, '11, '19).
   Earning All-Big 12 First Team honors for OSU last season were Rodriguez, a unanimous selection, and Yochum. Named to the All-Big 12 Second Team were defender Charmé Morgan, midfielder Jaci Jones and Dowell, who also earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team.
Â
Home Sweet Home
   OSU went 10-0-1 on its home field in 2019, the seventh time in program history the Cowgirls have gone undefeated at home in a season. Seven of those wins came via shutout, and OSU did not allow a goal in its first five home matches.
   Now in their third season at NPS, the Cowgirls have compiled an 18-5-1 overall record (.771), including a 3-1-0 mark this season.
   OSU was 84-16-10 (.809) at the Cowgirl Soccer Complex from 2008-17 and was 142-40-17 (.756) all time on its former home turf.
Â
In The Rankings
   After being ranked as high as No. 4 earlier this season, OSU is 12th for a second-straight week in the current United Soccer Coaches poll. The Cowgirls have appeared in the national rankings for 18 consecutive weeks dating back to last season.
   OSU ended the 2019 season ranked as high as 13th in the final polls.
