Cyclones shut down 1-0 against No. 8 Oklahoma State
October 3, 2010
The Cyclones dropped their second conference game of the weekend Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 loss at No. 8 Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State (11-1-1, 4-0 Big 12) scored in the 14th minute and it would stand for the remaining 76 minutes as the only goal. Just like Friday night, Iowa State (6-5-2, 1-2) was unable to recover from giving up an early goal.
Oklahoma State out-shot the Cyclones 11-4 in the first half with four shots on goal against Iowa State freshman Maddie Jobe. Jobe finished the game with five saves.
Iowa State had a number of opportunities to tie the game in the second half, but were unable to convert.
In the last five minutes, Iowa State’s Megan Long and Kelsey Calvert attempted to get the ball past the Cowgirl defenders, but Long’s shot was blocked and Calvert’s went wide.
The Cyclones continue Big 12 play next weekend with a pair of road games at Texas Tech and Baylor.
