🔼 Tourney Time. There’s no place like OKC this time of year.

A title on the line. Everyone hanging on to every pitch with bated breath.

The 2025 Big 12 Tournament is set to get underway on Wednesday in OKC, with the Cowgirls securing the fourth seed thanks to this past weekend’s sweep of Utah.

OSU will open their tournament action on Thursday morning at 11 am when they take on fifth-seeded Arizona State.

🥎 The Bracket Breakdown

🔼 In The Hunt. One down, two to go.

The OSU women’s golf squad got off to a strong start on Monday in the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional, firing a one-under in the opening round to sit just one shot back of region leader, Arizona State (ranked #8 nationally).

Led by sophomore Ellie Bushnell, four Cowgirls shot par or better to finish in the top-11 after day one.

Bushell notched an eagle on the 520-yard second hole and went on to card a 1-under and sit in seventh on the individual leaderboard.

🔼 Record Setter. For a record fourth time this season, OSU's Harrison Bodendorf was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week.

With his four Big 12 Pitcher of the Week awards, Bodendorf ties the conference record for single-season honors, joining four others on that list. Alek Manoah of West Virginia was the last to achieve the feat in 2019, while Bodendorf also joins fellow OSU southpaw Michael Freeman (2015) on the list. Harrison Musgrave (WVU, 2013) and Ryan Rupe (Texas A&M, 1998) also share the record.

Bodendorf turned in another dominant performance last week as he shut down one of the league's top offensive teams in the series opener against UCF.

Against a Knights' lineup that entered the game second in the Big 12 and 11^th nationally with a .319 team batting average and averaging over seven runs per game, Bodendorf tossed eight shutout innings and picked up the win to improve to 8-1 on the season.

Bodendorf allowed just four hits and one walk while racking up seven strikeouts. It was his ninth start to last at least five innings and his eighth to strike out at least six.
