• OSU is coming off a 13-3-2 showing last season, one in which the Cowgirls finished third in the Big 12 Conference standings at 6-2-1. OSU earned its second consecutive berth in the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship as the tourney's No. 10 national seed and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third time in program history.

• OSU returns 21 letterwinners from last season, including nine starters and five All-Big 12 performers.

• The 2021 season is the 26th in program history; over the first 25, OSU posted a 302-167-56 (.629) record. Head coach Colin Carmichael entered his 17th season at the helm in 2021 with a 219-87-43 mark.

Scouting The Wildcats

• Mike Dibbini is in his sixth season at K-State, where he owns a 26-60-12 record.

• OSU is 4-0-0 in the all-time series with Kansas State, including a 3-0 win last season in Manhattan.

Home Sweet Home

In three seasons at Neal Patterson Stadium, OSU has compiled a 28-7-3 record (.776) on its home turf, including a 5-2-1 mark this season.

The Cowgirls went 10-0-1 on their home field in 2019, the seventh time in program history OSU has 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.

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.

Elite Company

Kim Rodriguez became the fifth All-American in Cowgirl Soccer history in 2019 when she was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Second Team as a defender. She joined a list of OSU All-Americans that included Yolanda Odenyo, Melinda Mercado, AD Franch and Haley Woodard.

Last season, Rodriguez repeated as a second-team All-American to become the fourth Cowgirl to collect multiple All-America accolades in her career, joining Odenyo, Mercado and Franch on that list.

She's A Giver

Kim Rodriguez is tied for fifth on OSU's all-time assists list with 23. She had at least three assists in each of her first four seasons, including a career-best seven in 2019, and has two thus far in 2021.

Scoring In Bunches

Grace Yochum has established herself as one of the Big 12's top goal scorers, and she is chasing history as OSU's all-time leading goal scorer.

In 64 career games, Yochum has amassed 31 goals, which is tied for fourth on OSU's all-time list; she is four away from tying the record of 35 held by Yolanda Odenyo and Jolene Schweitzer.

As a freshman in 2018, Yochum tallied four goals. She followed that with 11 as a sophomore and netted 12 last season, a total that ranked sixth in the NCAA.

Yochum had two streaks of six consecutive games with a goal that spanned last season — Oct. 6, 2019 vs. K-State-Sept. 18, 2020 vs. Iowa State and Nov. 12, 2020 vs. OU-March 27, 2021 vs. OU.

G Stands For Goals

Gabriella "G" Coleman scored 18 goals in her two first two seasons with the Cowgirls, netting nine goals in both 2019 and 2020-21, and she is tied for the team lead this season with four goals.

Last season, four of Coleman's goals came in the postseason as she netted two goals each against South Alabama and Texas A&M in the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship. In 2019, she also showed a penchant for scoring when it mattered most, tallying two goals in the Big 12 Soccer Championship and scoring OSU's lone NCAA tourney goal.

Coleman spent her first two collegiate seasons at Mississippi State and scored three goals in 32 games.

Scoring Surge

Olyvia Dowell has added firepower to the OSU attack since stepping on campus in 2019.

As a freshman, Dowell recorded five goals and eight assists, and she followed that with an even more impressive showing as a sophomore.

Last season, Dowell ranked fifth in the NCAA with 31 points as she tallied 12 goals and seven assists. Her 12 goals tied for the Big 12 lead along with teammate Grace Yochum and ranked sixth nationally; the seven assists topped the conference. Dowell's goal total also marked the most ever goals by an OSU sophomore, and the 31 points was the seventh most in a single season in program history.

With three assists this season, Dowell has 18 in her career to move her into a tie for 10th on OSU's all-time list.
