Stepping Up The Scoring Punch
   Through 14 games, OSU has recorded 27 goals, with 11 Cowgirls finding the back of the net.
   In 19 games last season, OSU had just 20 goals with eight different players scoring.Â
Sonora Sends It In
   Sonora DeFini set scoring records during her high school career in Nebraska, and she has continued to rack up goals at the collegiate level.
   DeFini leads OSU with five goals this season, which comes on the heels of her freshman campaign of a year ago when she ranked second on the Cowgirls with four goals. She also had a pair of assists last season and was second on the squad with 10 points.
   Through 15 games in 2026, DeFini leads the team with 13 points on five goals and three assists.
Preseason Love

Wilson, who missed much of last season with injury, was an All-Big 12 First Team selection as a sophomore in 2024 after scoring five goals and posting nine assists; her assist total ranked second in the Big 12 and was the most assists in a season by a Cowgirl since Jaci Jones had 12 in 2019.
   In 64 career games for the Cowgirls, Wilson has recorded 12 goals and 16 assists. She is four assists away from cracking the top 10 list in program history.Â
