Oklahoma State women’s soccer had a solid 1-0-1 weekend with a pair of home matches to close out non conference play.

It finished with a 2-2 draw against an SMU team that had been receiving votes in the previous United Soccer Coaches Poll. The Cowgirls gave up a goal with just 1 second to play and survived an exciting overtime contest.

OSU went nearly perfect in non conference matches, but did not get beat. The team’s only two blemishes were the tie against SMU at home and at Oklahoma earlier in the fall.

The Big 12 conference recognized sophomore midfielder Grace Yochum for her part in the successful week. She finished the two contests with 6 points on three goals, including two of the three scored on Thursday against Kennesaw State.

The Cowgirls open Big 12 play with a tough trip to the lonestar state, first traveling to Lubbock to play Texas Tech on Thursday and then making their way to Fort Worth to square off with Texas Christian on Sunday.
