February 04, 2026 | Cowgirl Golf
STILLWATER – The NCAA released its first official women's golf rankings of the Spring 2026 season Wednesday, with Oklahoma State claiming the No. 20 spot and seven nationally-ranked individuals.
The Cowgirls opened spring play last weekend with a runner-up finish at the Collegiate Invitational (Jan. 30-31), highlighted by top-20 finishes from Grace Kilcrease (T-6), Lucy Darr (T-14) and Tarapath Panya (T-19).
The official NCAA Division I rankings, powered by Scoreboard by Clipp'd, use a point system that factors in course difficulty, field depth and several other metrics. Oklahoma State now has 51.18 points on the season, trailing No. 1 Stanford by 61.49.
The Pokes have held a top-20 placement in each of the nine rankings released so far this season, marking 16 straight weeks in the top 25. This ties the school record for most consecutive weeks spent ranked among the top 25 since the new system was implemented in 2023.
Oklahoma State is the Big 12's third-highest-ranked team, trailing only No. 15 UCF and No. 18 Arizona State.
Seven of nine golfers on the Oklahoma State roster appeared in the individual rankings, with four claiming spots inside the top 200.
Leading the Cowgirls is No. 66 Grace Kilcrease, a senior and Golfweek preseason All-American. Rounding out the quartet of Pokes in the top 200 are No. 76 Marta Silchenko, No. 100 Ellie Bushnell and No. 170 Lucy Darr.
Additionally, sophomores Tarapath Panya and Summer Lee are ranked 230th and 345th, respectively.
Freshman Yu-Chu Chen completes the list of ranked Cowgirls, coming in at No. 410.
The Cowgirls return to action next Monday, when they'll travel out west to Tucson, Arizona, for the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate (Feb. 9-10).
25 conference titles. 31 NCAA Championship appearances. 44 All-Americans. For the latest news and updates on Oklahoma State Women's Golf, visit okstate.com or follow @CowgirlGolf on Instagram/Facebook and @OSUCowgirlGolf on X.
