Keaton Mitchell is the "Headiest" player on the team. Like...literally! Mitchell scored her 4th goal last night, which is tied with Sonora for the team lead, and it was another header. Mitchell scored one goal last year at Tennessee, and that was against Western Carolina. That's IT! So, when she says Stillwater and OSU instantly felt like home when she came to tour the campus, believe her. It's fun to watch the "fit" aspect take the forefront for an athlete. The first thing that happens is, because they feel valued, they carry themselves with confidence and do not hesitate to just be themselves, on and off the field. Then, that confidence is a powerful motivator, because you get addicted to success. Both individually and for the team. And all of that produces the "best version" of a player, and the "best version" of Keaton Mitchell is, obviously, VERY good. I don't know Keaton, but from watching all the matches so far, this sure feels like, at least in part, what's happened to her here at OSU. #GoPokes #OkState

Keaton Mitchell Is One Heady Player!
Emmy Hedden is THE definition of a team player! She leads the team in assists with 4, and that's something she takes great pride in. In fact, if you listen to her talk, she's completely embraced that identity. So, when someone as team-oriented as she is gets to experience the excitement of scoring her own goal, it's SUPER cool. Especially when it's against such a great opponent. She's also super durable and leads the team in minutes played, and she's incredibly efficient. While she only has one goal on the year, because she is so assist-oriented, she actually leads the team in SOG% — Shot on Goal Percentage. What that means is that the shots she does take are getting on target at a really high rate. And to me, that further shows the "one more" mentality she's bringing into the box area. She's looking for the best shot, even if that means it's not her taking it. Super impressive young lady, and the type that EVERY team needs. And she's also one of those players where, because goal scoring isn't necessarily the headliner, it's important to take the time to look at the TOTALITY of what she brings to the team and appreciate the value of all of it. #GoPokes #OkState
Every Team Needs an Emmy Hedden!
Sonora DeFini scored ANOTHER goal last night for the Cowgirls and, as always, was super gracious with her time after the game, talking with the media. DeFini has pretty much been not just a scoring machine, but an overall offensive machine for the Cowgirls as well. She has been pretty much everything we knew we were getting out of her. She's now tied with Keaton Mitchell, who had a header goal last night, with 4 goals, and is also tied with Mitchell for the team lead in shots on goal with 9. Also, keep in mind, she had 2 goals in the exhibition against Tulsa. The progression for this team has been playing good defense early, but not getting a lot of shots off. Then, the next step was getting a lot of shots off, but not very many on goal. And now, the Cowgirls are getting the ball into the box, and when they do, they're relentless in fighting for the ball and creating enough separation to get good shots off on goal. It's been very fun watching this team gel as they've put so many transfer pieces together and overall become a much tougher team. When this team has had chances to score, they're starting to smell blood, which is obviously a great thing. But, as last night showed, I think the most consistent part of this team, in terms of being excellent, has been their defense. So, if they stay this aggressive in the scoring areas and play the same D they've played from Day One, they have a chance to have success in a BRUTAL Big 12. Well done, ladies. More Cowbell Please! #GoPokes #OkState
Sonora DeFini is a Scoring Machine!

It's Thursday, so that means OSU's Director of Sports Nutrition, Ann Weidmayer, gets to address the team and get them ready for Murray State. Ann joined the staff in 2025, so she was a holdover from the previous staff, and she immediately gained the respect of Coach Morris. She's worked with athletes from several different sports, and she graduated from OSU in 2021 before earning her master's degree at Illinois State. She eventually came back to Stillwater and joined the OSU athletic department. Also, a big shoutout to Wes Edwards, the longtime equipment guy at OSU. Wes joined OSU Athletics in 2006, so he's been around this place for a long time and knows his way around OSU. And there is probably no one more professional and respected in that building. I also wanted to mention my man Len Magby, a 1991 classmate of mine from back at SHS. Len has been an equipment manager at OSU for as long as I can remember, and I'm super proud of him and all he's done. He's currently an Assistant Equipment Manager for football and baseball. Scott Parker also got a shoutout from Coach Morris for his great work. Scott is in his 19th year at OSU and his 10th season as the Head Athletic Trainer for football. There are so many parts of an organization like this that go on behind the scenes, but OSU has some great people who keep things rolling so Coach Morris and his staff can do their jobs. #GoPokes #OkState

Recruiting is the lifeblood of any program, and one byproduct of the win on Saturday is that it gives Coach Morris and his staff something to show recruits. Up until this point, he's been trying to sell a vision. Now he's selling a vision with proof of product to show what it looks like. So, while recruiting has been somewhat slow, TBH, which is to be expected considering the short amount of time this staff has been here and the lack of success OSU has had the last two years, it will start picking up. And there is just no scenario where Coach Morris won't be anything other than just about the perfect recruiter for a place like OSU. And what I mean by that is that I have no idea how high his recruiting classes will rank because OSU likely isn't going to get a ton of the most expensive players. But through evaluation methods that Coach Morris has mastered, his staff will find the best players that fit. Just look at Saturday if you want a homework assignment, and look at how many lightly recruited players won their matchups against one of the most talented teams in college football. That includes Drew Mestemaker, Caleb Hawkins, Wyatt Young, Ethan Wesloski, and every other UNT transfer. And Shaun Torgeson, Carson Kolb, Morgan McPhaul, etc. Those players "fit," so they maximize what they are capable of, and, in the end, that's good enough to compete at the highest level. Saturday proved that! There are so many great football players out there that, while the richest teams get their first pick a lot of the time, that doesn't mean they end up with the best or most productive players. #GoPokes #OkState
Saturday Should Give OSU a BIG Recruiting Boost!
