All-Sports Update: Soccer Drops First Game, XC Starts with Individual Victory

Soccer

Coach Colin Carmichael and the OSU soccer team went on their first road trip of the season this weekend. Unfortunately for the No. 11 Cowgirls, they also picked up their first loss, a 2-1 defeat to Illinois.

OSU started the scoring in the 45th minute when Julia Lenhardt netted her first goal of the season. The Illini added two second-half goals, though, to secure the victory.

The Cowgirls were able to bounce back Sunday in Chicago, picking up a 2-0 victory against Loyola Chicago. Marlo Zoller and Grace Yochum were the goal scorers, and Hannah Warner and Dani Greenlee split halves in net for the clean sheet.

OSU is 4-1 on the year, and will be back in Stillwater this weekend with games against California on Friday and San Francisco on Sunday.

Men’s Golf

A third-place finish at the Carmel Cup wasn’t what the defending champion Oklahoma State golf team was after, but an individual winner is a nice consolation prize.

Matthew Wolff picked up his first collegiate victory this week at Pebble Beach after carding a 17-under 199 through the tournament.

Wolff came runner-up in four events during his freshman season.

OSU senior Hayden Wood finished tied in ninth at an eight-under 208.

Oklahoma won the event, topping second-place Georgia by two strokes.

The Cowboys have the week off before heading to the Illini Invitational on Sept. 14-16.

Cross-country

The Oklahoma State cross-country teams started their seasons at the Hurricane Invitational in Tulsa this weekend.

Sophomore Sinclaire Johnson won the women’s race, finishing in 11:03. Johnson’s teammate Grace Baker finished in third at 11:24.

The Cowgirls finished second as a team, losing by two points to Oklahoma.
