Oklahoma State soccer shuts out Baylor 3-0, wins Big 12 title

The Cowgirls score two goals in the first 10 minutes en route to victory.

The No. 12th-ranked Oklahoma State women’s soccer team shut out Baylor 3-0 to claim their seventh Big 12 conference championship in program history Thursday at Neal Patterson Stadium.

OSU junior forward Gabriella Coleman and senior midfielder Julia Lenhardt each scored a goal in the first 10 minutes, and junior midfielder Camy Huddleston tacked on a goal in the second half. Junior goalkeeper Dani Greenlee posted a nine-save shutout for the Cowgirls, who improved to 14-1-3 and 7-1-1 in Big 12 play.

Lenhardt’s shot bounced off the crossbar and Coleman pounced on the rebound to tap it in with her right foot for a 1-0 lead in the 7th minute. Lenhardt doubled the lead with a goal of her own three minutes later when she ran up the midfield in space and chipped a shot from distance over the out-stretched right hand of Jen Wandt into the top left corner.

Moments later senior defender Elise Hawn came up with a big clearance off the goal line to keep the Lady Bears off the scoreboard.

Jaci Jones sent a corner kick to the near post, where Huddleston pushed the ball by three Baylor defenders and Wandt in the 74th minute for a 3-0 lead.
