? ISU carries a 6-4-2 edge over Oklahoma State. Last season, the Cyclones handed the 16th-ranked Cowgirls a 3-0 loss in Ames Sept. 28. Current Cyclones, Elise Reid and Jordan Bishop had goals in last season's victory. ISU is 1-3-1 all-time at OSU with the last win coming Oct. 26, 1997.
? The Cyclones are 8-2-2 all-time against Oklahoma. In 2007, ISU won 2-0 against the Sooners in Ames Sept. 30. Elise Reid tallied a goal in that match while goalkeeper Ann Gleason had the assist on the Cyclones' second goal. ISU is 2-2-1 at Oklahoma in program history. Iowa State's last win at Oklahoma came Oct. 15, 2004, in a 2-1 triumph.
? Iowa State is 2-4-1 on the road this season with its last win being a 4-1 victory over North Dakota State Sept. 12.
? The Cyclones are coming off a 2-0 loss to Texas Tech Friday and a 0-0 double-overtime draw with league-leading and 15th-ranked Colorado Sunday.
Spreading the Wealth:
? The Cyclones have 12 players who have scored a goal this season, good enough for a third-place tie in the Big 12. Missouri and Kansas each boast a league-high 13.
Freshmen Finding Their Way:
? Four of the past five matches, four of the Cyclones' six available freshmen (Emily Hejlik, Mary Kate McLaughlin, Rachel Brcic and Laura Wooster) have started. Hejlik is second on the team in minutes played.
Poised Cyclones:
? The Cyclones have the least amount of yellow cards this season in the Big 12 with six and are one of five teams in the league to have not conceded a penalty kick.
Bishop and Gleason Rankings:
? Sophomore midfielder Jordan Bishop's five assists this season have her tied for 10th on the ISU career assist chart with nine, and she is one shy of being tied for 10th on the single-season chart. Her five assists already eclipse last season's individual high of four.
? Gleason's 19 career goalkeeper wins have her two victories from tying the ISU career mark.
? Gleason broke the career minutes in goal mark in Friday's match against Texas Tech. She currently has played 4957 minutes at goalkeeper for ISU.
New Home-Attendance Record Set:
? The Cyclones broke the ISU Soccer Complex attendance record with a crowd of 929 Sept. 26, against Missouri.
? A then ISU Soccer Complex record crowd of 892 saw the Cyclones down Drake, 2-1, Sept. 19. The match against Iowa Sept. 21 ranked as a close second with 884 fans in attendance. The previous high came on Sept. 8, 2000, against Iowa, with a crowd of 724.
? The 2008 Missouri match attendance was the 17th largest crowd to ever see an Iowa State soccer match at the time.
A Closer Look At No. 9 Oklahoma State (13-1-2, 4-1-2):
? The Cowgirls are coming off a 1-0-1 showing this past weekend. Oklahoma State downed Baylor 5-0 Friday in Waco. On Sunday, the Cowgirls drew with 12th-ranked Texas 0-0 in Austin.
? Junior forward Kasey Langdon leads the Cowgirls with 31 points this season on 10 goals and a squad-high 11 assists. Senior midfielder Yolanda Odenyo has a team-best 11 goals this season. A second-team All-American in 2007, Odenyo is a member of the Swedish national team.
? OSU is tied for the Big 12 lead with the longest active unbeaten run at five games (4-0-1).
? Senior Erin Stigler has started all 16 matches in goal for the Cowgirls this season. She has played 1245 minutes, allowed 12 goals for a 0.87 goals-against average and has made 45 stops. She has recorded three shutouts.
? The Cowgirls have been an offensive juggernaut this season. They lead the Big 12 in points (154), goals (56), goals per game (3.50) and assists (42). Their 3.50 goals-per-game average dwarfs second-place Kansas' average (2.31).
? OSU has also been solid on the defensive end, sitting in third in the Big 12 in goals-against average (0.86).
? Oklahoma State has a 100-percent record at home this season, going 8-0-0. The Cowgirls have outscored their opposition 33-7 at home this year.
? The Cowgirls return a pair of players who received All-Big 12 honors in 2007. Yolanda Odenyo was a first-team selection while Allyson Leggett was a member of the all-newcomer squad.
? Oklahoma State advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championships last year before falling to UCLA, 4-0.
? Colin Carmichael is in his second year as the head coach at Oklahoma State after being on the coaching staff since the program's inception in 1996. In his first season in charge, Carmichael led the Cowgirls to a 14-6-3 mark and a trip to the second round of NCAA Championships. Carmichael played collegiately at South Alabama and was a four-year starter.
A Closer Look At Oklahoma (2-13-1, 1-5-1):
? This past weekend, the Sooners snapped a 12-game winless streak with a 1-0 win over Baylor in Waco Sunday. Oklahoma fell 4-0 to 12th-ranked Texas Friday in Austin.
? The Sooner's have had their best run of results recently, going 1-1-1 in their last three matches.
? Oklahoma is 1-5-1 at home this season but have only played two home Big 12 matches. The Sooners are 0-1-1 in those contests.
? Sophomore Whitney Palmer is the clear leader of the Sooner attack. Palmer has a team-high 14 points while second for the Sooners is Kelsey Allison's three points. Palmer has tallied a team-high seven goals this season and is the only Sooner to have scored multiple goals. Allison has a squad-high three assists.
? Freshman Lisa Jett has seen the bulk of the action in net for Oklahoma this season. She has played 1167 minutes in goal, and conceded 36 goals for a 2.78 goals-against average while recording 77 saves. However, senior Traci Dickenson played the full 90 minutes in the Sooner's 1-0 win over Baylor Sunday.
? Whitney Palmer is Oklahoma's lone returner who received All-Big 12 honors in 2007 as she was named to the all-newcomer team.
? Nicole Nelson is in her first season as the head coach of Oklahoma after a three-year stint at Stephen F. Austin where she compiled a 33-19-9 mark. Nelson played collegiately for Oklahoma City University where she was a four-year starter.
