The Jags make the second round of the NCAA tournament for the second time in program history and Oklahoma State awaits South Alabama after earning a first-round bye and the 10th overall seed.

The Cowgirl soccer team has been around the top 25 most of the year, playing a fall and spring schedule. Oklahoma State is making its 13th trip to the NCAA tournament as an at-large bid, earning the number 10 national ranking and with it the associated bye.

Oklahoma State finished third in the Big 12 with a 6-2-1 conference-only fall record behind TCU and WVU. The Cowgirls have won nine of their last 10 matches stretching back to October.

With a special connection between the programs, Oklahoma State's head coach Colin Carmichael and assistant coach Karen Hancock, formerly Karen Horstman, were part of the beginning of the Jaguar women's soccer program, spending the first two years with the squad.
