Oklahoma State from a Distance
  After playing the toughest schedule in the nation through the first two weeks of competition, the Oklahoma State softball team stands at 15-4 and is currently riding an 11-game winning streak, boasting wins over No. 9 Florida State, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 14 Alabama and No. 18 Nebraska. Six of the Cowgirls' first nine games were played against ranked opponents, with four against top-10 opponents.  Offensively, sophomores Rosie Davis and Tia Warsop have stood out, with the former leading the team in RBIs (25), while the latter holds the highest batting average on the team (.447) and is in the midst of an 11-game on-base streak. Senior Megan Bloodworth, the March 4 Big 12 Player of the Week, has also been a force at the plate, slashing .385/.444/.692 with four home runs and 11 RBIs. Graduate transfer Megan Delgadillo (Cal State Fullerton) is batting .410 and paces the team with 19 runs scored and 15 stolen bases.
  In the circle, Washington transfer Ruby Meylan is performing at an All-America level. She was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week on March 4 after going 6-0 and striking out 30 in 23.1 scoreless innings. On the year, the junior from Omaha, Nebraska, is 8-0 with a 1.29 ERA to go with 72 strikeouts in 54.1 innings of work. Sophomore right-hander Katie Kutz began the season as the least experienced pitcher on the staff, however she has blossomed into one of the Cowgirls' top arms. The McLean, Va., native was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 18 following a 3-0 outing (all against top-25 opponents) in four appearances at the Shriners Children's Clearwater Invitational to go with a 1.20 ERA and 10 strikeouts.
