It was a classic case of the match was not as close as the actual score.
After controlling nearly 70% possession in the first half, some sloppy defending on a corner allowed the Sooners to pounce on the loose ball at the far post for just the third first-half goal allowed this season by Oklahoma State.
Despite being short-handed due to injuries over the past couple of weeks, the Cowgirls stayed on the front foot but were unable to put anything threatening on goal thanks to OU’s game plan...pack it in to the back line and look for the counter.
