After a short rain delay, the SMU mustangs hosted Oklahoma State for their lone exhibition match of the season at Westcott Field on Saturday night.

It was a competitive contest and because it was an exhibition match, both teams had the opportunity to roll out most of their reserves in a tightly contested game.

OSU jumped out in front of SMU by two goals early in the second half, but the Mustangs rallied to come away with a 2-2 draw.

The biggest advantage the Mustangs had in the match was its depth. SMU’s head coach Chris Petrucelli was able to use a total of seven subs, while OSU only used five.

Once OSU was up 2-0, they began to look gassed and SMU started to apply a lot of offensive pressure.

The Mustangs first goal came in the 78th minute, when Kelsey Gorney took the ball on the left side of the box and shot it over the keepers head, into the top of the net from about five yards out.

The equalizer came a little over five minutes later when Claire Oates managed to usher a loose ball in the box into the goal.

Until it’s surge of energy in the second half, SMU appeared to be on its heels as the Cowgirls were the aggressors early- OSU had three shots in the first half to SMU’s one. They finished the night having outshot SMU 11-6.

Lauryn Bodden got the start-in goal for the Mustangs and surrendered the first goal of the match. In the second half Shannon Maroney took over and also surrendered a goal, but managed to record four saves as well.

The Cowgirls also held an advantage in corners, 5-0.

SMU will get their regular season rolling on Aug. 22 when they face Nebraska on the road.
