History
The Cowgirls picked up their first hardware in 2003, seven years after the foundation of the program, when Oklahoma State defeated the Missouri Tigers in the Big 12 tournament championship to claim their first conference title. Since then, the Cowgirls have gone on to win additional conference tournament titles in 2009 and 2010, along with regular season conference titles in 2008, 2011, 2017, and 2019. Oklahoma State has also had national success, making it to the NCAA women's soccer tournament 14 times, going as far as the Sweet Sixteen three times and the Elite Eight twice. Individually, 12 Cowgirls have received All-America honors, with six of them being First-Team honors.{{cite web | title=All-Americans | website=Oklahoma State University Athletics | date=2023-03-24 | url=https://okstate.com/sports/2015/3/17/GEN_2014010164#soc | ref={{sfnref|Oklahoma State University Athletics|2023}} | access-date=2025-03-05}}{{cite web | title=- Oklahoma State University Athletics | website=Oklahoma State University Athletics | date=2023-03-24 | url=https://okstate.com/documents/2024/8/7/2024_Oklahoma_State_Cowgirl_Soccer_Media_Guide.pdf | ref={{sfnref|Oklahoma State University Athletics|2023}} | access-date=2025-03-05}}
