Intensity didn’t show up until it was too late, but the young Cowgirl team is using it as a lesson for the rest of the season.
One thing OSU coach Colin Carmichael learned about his team during Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Missouri State is the team needs to push to raise the intensity – something Carmichael said the Cowgirls lacked at the start of the match.
“Sunday was very disjointed. We were really disappointed in our first 20 minutes,” Carmichael said. “I thought Missouri State came out really hungry and we didn’t match their intensity and we got punished for it.
