About Oklahoma State

• Oklahoma State is 4-7-2 overall and 0-4-1 in Big 12 Conference play. Up next, the Cowgirls host Kansas State Friday night at Neal Patterson Stadium.

• The Cowgirls are coming off a 14-5-3 season in 2024 in which they finished fifth in the Big 12 Conference standings with a 6-3-2 mark and earned a berth in the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship, where OSU lost in the first round to No. 2 national seed Arkansas.

• OSU returned seven players who started at least 10 games for the Cowgirls last season, including All-Big 12 performers Gracie Bindbeutel, Xcaret Pineda and Laudan Wilson.

• Colin Carmichael entered his 21st season as OSU's head coach in 2025 with a career record of 265-110-53 (.681).

Scouting The Opponent

• Kansas State is 5-4-3 overall and 15th in the Big 12 standings with an 0-2-3 mark.

• Colleen Corbin is in her first season as K-State's head coach. She previously had a head coaching stint at Wyoming and owns a career record of 27-28-15 in four seasons

• The Cowgirls are 7-0-0 all time against K-State. The last meeting came in 2023, with OSU defeating the Wildcats by a 2-0 score. Each of OSU's last four wins in the series have come via shutout.

Injury Bug Biting

Injuries have taken a huge toll on the Cowgirls this season, with numerous key players forced to go on the shelf. Those injuries have prohibited OSU from having the same starting lineup in multiple games this season. Among the injured:

• All-Big 12 midfielder Laudan Wilson, OSU's leading scorer last season, played in only one of the Cowgirls' first eight games (vs. Oklahoma on Aug. 17). She returned to action off the bench vs. Kansas.

• Gracie Bindbeutel, an All-Big 12 forward, was lost for the remainder of the season with a knee injury after starting the first five games

• Starting midfielder Chloe Wright has missed two games

• Lexi Lee has missed 10 games

• Emmy Hedden missed the first seven games of the season

• Juliette Perreault missed the first five games of the season

• Leading goal scorer and All-Big 12 midfielder Xcaret Pineda was injured late in the first half against Oral Roberts and did not return to the game; she missed the next five games before returning vs. BYU

• Starting goalie Logan Marks was injured in the first half vs. Kansas and missed the final 57 minutes

• Bella Pierotti was injured in the first half vs. KU and did not return; she missed the last four games

• Aubrey Wagner has missed three games after suffering an injury at Arizona State

• Starting defenders Sophie Wilson and Jazmin Brown were injured in the opening half at Texas Tech and did not return; both missed the BYU game

X Gon' Give It To Ya

It's safe to say OSU's offense runs through Xcaret Pineda.

The Cowgirls' senior midfielder has played a role in six of OSU's 16 goals this season, finding the back of the net five times and also recording an assist. She notched the first multi-goal game of her career with a brace against Arkansas State.

With just one more goal, Pineda will tie her career high for goals in a season — she has tallied six each of the last two years.

In 69 career games, 67 as a starter, Pineda has recorded 19 goals and 12 assists while taking 158 shots.

She's A Giver

Laudan Wilson tallied nine assists last season as a sophomore, which ranked second in the Big 12 and was the most assists in a season by a Cowgirl since Jaci Jones had 12 in 2019.

Wilson also added five goals, which ranked third on the squad, as she led the Cowgirls with 19 points.

With 15 assists in her career, Wilson is five away from cracking the top 10 list in program history.

Four Corners

OSU has recorded 70 corner kicks, an average of nearly six per game, and the Cowgirls have taken advantage of those scoring opportunities as six of their 17 goals have come off corner kicks.

Taryn Thibeau has a team-leading and career-high four assists, three of those off corner kicks. Jazmin Brown's two goals are a career best and came on headers off corners, and Sonora DeFini also has two goals on headers off corners.

I Can Score Too

Ellie Geoffroy has established herself as one of OSU's top defenders over the last three seasons, but against East Texas A&M, she proved she can be a scoring threat.

Geoffroy recorded the first multi-goal game of career with a brace against the Lions as she netted OSU's first two goals of the game in a five-minute span in the first half. She also had an assist in the game.

Entering the game, Geoffroy did not have a goal or assist on the season, and she previously had four career goals in 65 games.

Dandy Debut

Emmy Hedden had an immediate impact in her first collegiate game. After missing OSU's first seven games due to injury, Hedden was in the starting lineup against East Texas A&M and produced a goal and an assist to earn Big 12 Co-Freshman of the Week honors.

Hedden notched an assist on OSU's second goal then converted her only shot of the game as she scored on a 35-yard strike upper 90 for the first goal of her career.

Lockdown Lo

In her first season as OSU's starting goalie, sophomore Logan Marks leads the Big 12 with 61 saves and an average of 4.69 saves per game.

Marks recorded a career-high nine saves and her first clean sheet in Big 12 play against 17th-ranked Arizona State and followed that with an eight-save performance against Arizona.

Coach Colin

Colin Carmichael has been a member of the OSU coaching staff for each of the program's 30 seasons, including 21 as a head coach. He has been named Big 12 Coach of the Year a conference-record six times.

Carmichael entered the 2025 season with 265 career wins in 20 seasons, ranking third among active Big 12 coaches in wins at their current school behind only BYU's Jennifer Rockwood (464 wins in 31 seasons) and West Virginia's Nikki Izzo-Brown (402 wins in 29 seasons).
