OSU Softball: Cowgirls Announced Big 12 Schedule for Upcoming Season

It’s hard to believe, but this softball season will be Year 11 for Kenny Gajewski in Stillwater.

Oklahoma State on Thursday announced its Big 12 schedule for the upcoming softball season, where the Cowgirls will host a quartet of conference foes at Cowgirl Stadium for Big 12 series.

March 6-8 — UCF
March 13-15 — at Arizona State
March 19-21 — BYU
March 27-29 — at Utah
April 10-12 — at Iowa State
April 17-19 — Arizona
April 24-26 — at Baylor
May 1-3 — Kansas
May 7-9 — Big 12 Championship

The Cowgirls avoid what would be a blockbuster series against Texas Tech, a squad that made the championship series last season. But, OSU will host eight-time national champ Arizona.

OSU is 16-23 all-time against the Wildcats after Arizona took two of three off the Cowgirls in Tucson last season. Their last meeting before that was in the 2024 Super Regional, where the Cowgirls swept Arizona, winning by a combined score of 18-4. Before that, the two programs had last met in the 2022 WCWS, a game OSU won 4-2.

The Cowgirls’ finished fourth in the Big 12 standings last year behind Tech, Arizona and Iowa State. The Cowgirls will be in Ames in April after the Cyclones took two of three off OSU last season.

OSU went 35-20 last season, missing out on the WCWS for the first time since 2018. Gajewski returns the likes of Ruby Meylan, Rosie Davis, Karli Godwin and more from last season’s squad.
