Cowgirls Top Sooners in Double-OT

It’s another Bedlam sweep for the Cowgirls.

The Oklahoma State soccer team won a double-OT thriller against Bedlam rival Oklahoma on Thursday night at Neal Patterson Stadium. The Cowgirls won 3-2 after a golden goal from freshman Samaiah Phiri.

The play started with Grace Yochum lacing a shot from outside the box that OU goalkeeper Une Georgsen couldn’t control. The ball rolled along the goal line, and Phiri hustled for the tap-in.

Phiri’s goal put a blunt end to the Sooners’ comeback attempt. The Cowgirls went up 2-0 in the game with goals from Yochum and Megan Haines before the Sooners added a pair in the final 15 minutes to force OT.

It’s the Cowgirls’ sixth win in a row in the Bedlam rivalry, and OSU has an all-time series lead of 30-9-4.

The Cowgirls are 8-5-2 on the season with games against Texas and West Virginia to play before the Big 12 Tournament. As things sit, the Cowgirls are fourth in the Big 12 at 3-2-1. Texas is second (4-0-3) and West Virginia is fifth (3-2-2).
