Sophomore left fielder Nolan Schubart led the Cowboys with two home runs and five RBI on the day.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Rydin’ High. Every two years, the world gathers to watch an incredible week of head-to-head golf with some of the best in the world battling it out.

This year’s Ryder Cup featured a program high three former Cowboys with Rickie Fowler, Wyndham Clark and Viktor Hovland all a part of the event.

Hovland continued his magical year with a tremendous week on the course, helping Team Europe win the event with a 4&3 head-to-head victory on Sunday.

🔼 Far From Home. Over 11 hours and nearly 5,000 miles away from home, Loïs Op Het Veld has gotten quite comfortable in Stillwater.

The senior on OSU’s equestrian team, is one of several European athletes to compete for the Cowgirls. Now a three-time Big 12 champion and an NCEA champion, Op Het Veld has helped OSU equestrian win on the national stage every year she's been on the team.

OkState.com sat down with her recently to talk about her journey to the Orange and Black and what the transition has been like over the past few years.

🔼 Let’s Start A New One. For the second time this season, the OSU futbol squad put together a five-game winning streak.

For the second straight time, that streak was snapped at five, this time, it came in a tough 1-0 road loss at TCU, a team that was ranked in the top-10 nationally when the season began.

The game was a back-and-forth battle all day long with OSU winning the shot battle, 9-8, and corner kicks, 3-2, but couldn’t get the equalizer after the Horned Frogs scored in the 17th minute of the contest.

Next up? A trip to Big 12 newcomer Cincinnati on Thursday night.

🔼 Sunday Showin’ Out. 11 different former Cowboys saw action yesterday in the NFL.

Leading the way was Chuba Hubbard, who dashed for 41 yards for the Panthers, while Justice Hill (Ravens) and Jaylen Warren (Steelers) combined for 62 yards on the ground in their games.
