OSU gets No. 4 seed in NCAA soccer tournament

Oklahoma State was awarded a No. 4 national seed for the Women's NCAA soccer championship and will open play Friday against Fairfield in Piscataway, N.J.

The Cowgirls, who are making their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and fourth overall, are in a bracket with Fairfield (15-4-3), Penn State (16-7-0) and host Rutgers (12-6-1). If OSU wins its opening round match, the Cowgirls will face the Penn State-Rutgers winner Sunday.

OSU is one of 16 national seeds for just the second time in school history, joining the 2006 squad in earning that distinction. The other seeded teams in the Cowgirls' regional bracket are No. 1 Stanford, No. 2 Portland and No. 3 Wake Forest.

"(The seeding) means we're in the top 16 in the country in a bunch of people's eyes," said head coach Colin Carmichael. "We know we're a good team and getting seeded allows us to avoid the other seeded teams for the first two rounds, and that's the important thing." By Staff Reports
