🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 10.

Ten of the 11 wins have come against top-10 ranked opponents, with five coming against teams that were ranked in the top-10 at the time of the match.

Going by the latest ITA rankings, the Cowgirls have beaten No. 2 Stanford, No. 3 Michigan (twice), No. 6 Texas, No. 7 Pepperdine, No. 9 Ohio State and No. 12 Auburn.

The five wins over top-10 opponents are the most in program history for a season, and it took this year's team only nine matches to get there.

🤠 Let’s have a great one, OSU fam!
