The final two weeks of the Big 12 regular season open as six more league games are slated for this weekend. Conference teams will also play four non-conference matches.

Missouri’s match at Oklahoma on Sunday will mark the first of four nationally-televised matches in the Big 12.  ESPNU will air the action from Norman with a 1 p.m. start time.

Oklahoma State is off to the best start in program history at 15-0.  OSU is also off to a unblemished 4-0  start in Big 12 play. Overall, the Cowgirls have outscored their opposition 38-4. For a fifth straight week, Oklahoma State remained at No. 2 in the NSCAA rankings. 

Success at home has translated to overall success for Big 12 teams. The top three teams (Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Baylor) have a combined 23-1 record at home, which has propelled them to a combined 36-7-2  overall mark.

The defensive play throughout the Big 12 continues to be solid. Every team is allowing less than 2.21 goals per game, and five of the nine schools are giving up a goal or less per game.  In total, Big 12 teams have 57 shutouts in 132 games played.
