🎥 OSUMAX: POKES POD WITH OUR ACE

Oklahoma State pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl finished her first season in Stillwater with a 16-5 record helping lead the Cowgirls to Oklahoma City for the program's fourth straight trip to the College World Series.

This season she returns as the ace in the circle for Kenny Gajewski and the Cowgirls and through the first few weeks, she’s lived up to every bit of the billing.

Learn more about Lexi in a Pokes Pod Face-to-Face from her first season at OSU.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Country Roads. Now that’s how you send off the seniors.

On a night that started by honoring the seniors on this year’s squad, the OSU Cowgirls ended it with more jubilation, taking down #25 West Virginia, 68-61 on Tuesday night at GIA.

Anna Gret Asi led all scorers with 22 points to go with six assists. Senior Quincy Noble added 15 points and seven rebounds, while Hannah Gusters scored 13.

🔺 Home Sweep Home. Now that’s how you come home with a BANG!

21 runs, 24 hits and two run-rule victories is how the third-ranked OSU softball squad opened up its 2024 home slate, taking down South Dakota State, 11-2 and 10-0 on Tuesday at Cowgirl Stadium.

The Orange & Black continued its torrid HR launching with Karli Godwin, Caroline Wang, Micaela Wark and Haidyn Sokoloski all going deep on the day.

🔺 Movin’ On Up. The Pokes are taking a page from George Jefferson as they are movin’ on up in the national polls.

The OSU women’s tennis squad continued their stand at #1 in the latest ITA rankings, while the Cowgirls of the diamond jumped to #3 and #6 in national polls this week.

Back on the court, the OSU men’s tennis team moved to #24 in the country after posting an 11-2 start, the best since 2016.

🔺 Aced It. If she was given a grade for her performance this week, you could say Lexi Kilfoyl “aced it.”

The graduate senior threw three complete-game shutouts this past week, including wins over #16 Florida and #4 Washington. For her outstanding showing, she was named Wilson/NFCA D1 National Pitcher of the Week and Big 12 Pitcher of the Week.

🎥 OSUMAX: CENTER COURT

Oklahoma State redshirt sophomore Anastasiya Komar is making a big impact on the 2023-24 Cowgirls Tennis team after transferring from LSU with teammate Safiya Carrington.
