History

The Cowgirls picked up their first hardware in 2003, seven years after the foundation of the program. Oklahoma State defeated the Missouri Tigers in the Big 12 tournament championship to claim their first conference title. Since then, the Cowgirls have gone on to win additional conference tournament titles in 2009 and 2010, along with regular season conference titles in 2008, 2011, 2017, and 2019. Oklahoma State has also had national success, making it to the NCAA women's soccer tournament 14 times, going as far as the Sweet Sixteen three times and the Elite Eight twice. Individually, 12 Cowgirls have received All-America honors, with six of them being First-Team honors. [4] [5]

Facilities

Officially dedicated on Aug. 19, 2018, Neal Patterson Stadium is a showcase for Cowgirl Soccer and one of the top soccer facilities in the collegiate ranks, boasting a permanent capacity of 2,500. The stadium was named after its major benefactor and Oklahoma State alumnus, the late Neal Patterson, and costed over $20 million to construct. [6] Team facilities include locker rooms, meeting areas, kitchen facilities, sports medicine areas and equipment rooms. Other unique aspects of Patterson Stadium include a large roof that covers much of the seating areas, home and visitor bench areas with chairback seating built into the stadium, and a 26 feet by 40 feet high-definition video scoreboard in the southeast corner of the facility. [7]

In the first game at Neal Patterson Stadium, Oklahoma State defeated rival Oklahoma, 2–1.
