OSU Softball Projected to Finish Second in Big 12
January 20, 2022 | Cowgirl Softball
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State softball team was picked to finish second in the Big 12 Conference by the league's coaches, marking the highest preseason conference ranking in school history.
The No. 2 ranking in the Big 12 preseason poll comes a day after Oklahoma State was ranked No. 3 in D1Softball's Preseason Top 25, which is also the highest preseason mark OSU has ever received from D1Softball.
The Cowgirls' tallied a 15-3 record in conference play in 2021 – the program's best conference finish in the Big 12 era – highlighted by series sweeps over Iowa State, Texas Tech, Baylor and Texas and a runner-up finish at the 2021 Big 12 Championship.
Oklahoma State's 28-8 record (77.8 pct.) is second in the Big 12 Conference over the last two seasons, trailing only Oklahoma. The Cowgirls have finished no lower than third in the Big 12 standings in each of the last five seasons.
The Cowgirls open the season February 10 when they take on Arizona State in the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Arizona.
