Following that match, OSU returns home to host Grambling State on Sunday.
• The Cowgirls are coming off a 4-13-2 season in 2025 and returns eight players who started at least eight games a year ago, including Preseason All-Big 12 midfielder Laudan Wilson.

New Faces
The Cowgirls' 29-player roster counts 12 returning letterwinners and 17 newcomers. Of OSU's new players, eight are Division I transfers, six are freshmen from the prep ranks, two are junior college transfers and one is a transfer from Division II.

I'm Honored
Three OSU veterans have earned all-conference accolades in their careers. In 2024, Laudan Wilson was an All-Big 12 First Team midfielder, while Gracie Bindbeutel was an All-Big 12 Second Team forward and defender Katelyn Hoppers was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.
The Cowgirls added three all-conference performers via the transfer portal — Bryn Geppert was an All-Southland Conference First Team selection in 2025, Jada Moorman was a two-time All-Southern Conference pick and the SoCon Freshman of the Year and Emily Senatore was twice named to the All-Southland Conference First Team and was the 2025 Southland Player of the Year and Midfielder of the Year.
OSU also brought in a pair of two-time JUCO All-Americans in Emma Jensen and Sherline King. Jensen led Northwest Mississippi Community College to back-to-back NJCAA Division II national championships, while King scored a program record 54 goals in her Jones College career.
Avery Bass capped her career at Division II Central Oklahoma by earning United Soccer Coaches All-Region Third Team honors.

Better In America's Brightest
Keaton Mitchell had a career day in leading the Cowgirls to their first win of the season over SFA.
A transfer from Tennessee, Mitchell had two career goals in 49 games for the Vols. In her second game at OSU, the senior midfielder came off the bench and netted a pair of goals, one in each half, to lead the Cowgirls to the victory over SFA.

Preseason Love
Senior Laudan Wilson was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team at midfielder. Wilson, who missed much of last season with injury, was an All-Big 12 First Team selection as a sophomore in 2024 after scoring five goals and posting nine assists; her assist total ranked second in the Big 12 and was the most assists in a season by a Cowgirl since Jaci Jones had 12 in 2019.
In 53 career games for the Cowgirls, Wilson has recorded eight goals and 16 assists. She is four assists away from cracking the top 10 list in program history.

Lockdown Lo
In her first season as OSU's starting goalie as a sophomore in 2025, Logan Marks led the Big 12 with 5.21 saves per game and ranked second in the league with 99 saves, the third most in a season in program history.
Just 23 games into her career, Marks already ranks eighth on OSU's career saves list with 108.
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.

Gracie B Good
Senior forward Gracie Bindbeutel has endured a career marred by injuries, suffering torn ACLs in both knees that caused her to miss the entire 2023 season and all but five games in 2025.
An All-Big 12 performer in 2024, Bindbeutel scored OSU's first goal of the season in the opener vs. Sam Houston. It marked her first goal since October 10, 2024 vs. Houston and was the seventh of her career.
