 Kaitlyn Fahrner // RFr. // Las Vegas, Nev. Kaitlyn Fahrner closed the weekend with her second consecutive shutout, marking the first time since 2005 that Oklahoma has opened conference play with two shutouts in a row. Fahrner made four saves against the Cyclones, bringing her total on the weekend to 10. With four shutouts already this season, Fahrner has the most shutouts in a single season since Kelsey Devonshire's six in 2010. |
AMES, Iowa -- Two wins, two shut-outs, and a 2-0 conference start made up a stellar weekend for the Oklahoma soccer team.
Less than two days after knocking off No. 10 Texas Tech on the road in Lubbock, OU went back on the road and topped Iowa State 1-0 off a game-winner from junior Laura Rayfield. The Sooners avoided a letdown after an emotional victory against TTU, overcoming a long travel day to rise to 8-3-2 on the season and 2-0-0 in conference action.
With the victory, Oklahoma has its first 2-0 start to Big 12 play since 2005. The Sooners are 3-1 this season against ranked teams and 2-1 against teams ranked within the top-10 nationally.
Oklahoma took an edge on possession in the first half but couldn't quite capitalize with scoring threats in the box. The Sooners took four shots to ISU's seven in the first half, with only one shot on goal.
Devin Barrett and Rasha Roberts were the lone Sooners to break through Iowa State's defense and create big chances in the first half. Each drove down the left side in the final minutes of the half, taking shots in the box to challenge ISU.
It was Rayfield who would capitalize off a free kick opportunity and give Oklahoma the lead right out of the gates in the second half. Rayfield brought out a free kick next to the box on the left side, chipping the ball in through a gaggle of players and bouncing it past ISU's goalkeeper to put OU up 1-0 in the 47th minute of play.
Oklahoma's defense began to stifle the Cyclones, despite ISU's best efforts to pour forward and create a chance for an equalizing goal. The Sooners used offensive opportunity to play defense as well, repeatedly bursting through the ISU defense and forcing the Cyclones to make big plays or saves to clear the ball.
The Sooners bled down the clock in the final minutes, playing keep-away and maintaining possession to let their 1-0 lead stand as the final score. The victory also marks the first time since 2005 that Oklahoma has shut out both of its opponents in its first two conference matches.
The Sooners return to Norman next weekend for their Big 12 home opener, welcoming Baylor and TCU to John Crain Field. Oklahoma will face the Lady Bears on Friday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. before challenging the Horned Frogs on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. Both matches will be broadcast live by Sooner Sports TV.
