Cowgirls Climb to No. 11 with Veteran Head Coach Pushing the Buttons

STILLWATER – It was halftime last Sunday and No. 17 Oklahoma State, already 3-0 on the season, had just played a sloppy first half at Central Arkansas. Sure, the Cowgirls led 1-0, but the play had been less than what the team is capable of. Maybe a Bedlam hangover after the 1-0 win over their rivals on Thursday night. Whatever the cause, 20-year Cowgirls head coach Colin Carmichael was going to work on the cure.
