STILLWATER — With the NCAA Tournament already postponed (at the least), Big 12 soccer teams are getting right down to it this fall.
The reigning Big 12 champ, Oklahoma State starts its season Friday night in Norman against Bedlam rival Oklahoma. It’s one of just nine games in about two months the Cowgirls will have in their shortened regular season. No nonconference opponents, just straight into Big 12 play.
For reference, OSU played 10 nonconference games last season. It will essentially be a sink or swim sort of ordeal for OSU’s 11 true freshmen.
“They’re some good players in [the freshman class], some talented players,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said.
