MANHATTAN, Kansas - Kansas State women's soccer will play its final regular season road matches of 2017 this weekend, as the Wildcats visit (24) Oklahoma State on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m., and Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.
• This weekend's matches will be broadcast on 101.5 KROCK in Manhattan and kstatesports.com. Sunday afternoon's match at Oklahoma will be broadcast by FS Oklahoma.
• Sunday's match at Oklahoma will mark the 17th match of the season, which surpasses the 16 total matches from the inaugural season in 2016.
Weekend in Review
• In the first two home matches played in the month of October in program history, Kansas State dropped a pair of 1-0 decisions to Baylor and ninth ranked Texas. The Wildcats fell in an overtime heartbreaker with the Longhorns in just the second match against a ranked opponent in program history.
• K-State nearly tied the match with Baylor in the 83rd minute on Friday night. The Bears were whistled for a hand ball in their defensive box, allowing the Wildcats the first penalty kick in program history. Freshman forward and K-State points leader Hannah Davis took the attempt, but had her shot blocked by Baylor goalkeeper Jennifer Wandt.
• Senior goalkeeper Miranda Larkin finished the weekend with 15 saves on 17 shots on goal. For the season, Larkin has set the school record for saves in a season with 89.
Oklahoma State at a Glance
• Oklahoma State (12-2-2, 5-1-0 Big 12) has won five of its last six matches, including a 1-0 win at Texas Tech on Oct. 13.
• The Cowgirls lead the Big 12 in goals (36), assists (30) and total points (102).
• On the sidelines, Oklahoma State is guided by 13th year head coach Colin Carmichael. During his time in Stillwater, Carmichael owns a record of 176-72-36 (.683).
• On the field, the Cowgirls are led by Haley Woodard and Anna Beffer. Woodard is tied for the team lead in goals (6) and registered a team-high 15 points. Beffer has dished out a team-leading nine assists and has 13 points.
Oklahoma at a Glance
• Oklahoma (2-10-4, 0-3-3 Big 12) has dropped two straight matches following a three-match stretch from Sept. 29 to Oct. 8 of scoreless draws.
• The Sooners are led by sixth year head coach Matt Potter. Potter is 47-55-18 (.467) in his time in Norman.
• Oklahoma is paced on the field by Kaylee Dao with three goals and seven points.
The Secret Letter is 'O'
• In an ironic twist in Kansas State's 2017 schedule, the Wildcats will open the season with four straight opponents that begin with the letter 'O' (Oregon State, Oregon, Oral Roberts, Omaha).
• K-State will face a total of six schools (33 percent of the schedule) during the 2017 season that begin with the letter 'O,' with matchups at Oklahoma State (Oct. 20) and Oklahoma (Oct. 22) upcoming.
• In 2016, K-State faced three schools that start with the letter 'O' - Oakland, Omaha and Oral Roberts. K-State secured the program's first win and the school record for goals in a match with a 6-0 win over Oakland.
• Overall, K-State owns a 4-1-2 record against schools that begin with the letter 'O.'
• By the end of the 2017 season, K-State will have played seven of the 11 NCAA Division I schools that start with an 'O,' with Ohio, Ohio State, Old Dominion and Ole Miss remaining.
Records Falling in 2017
• In addition to setting a new program record for wins in a season, Kansas State has also surpassed statistical highs from last season.
• The Wildcats have set the program records in total shots (185), shots on goal (85), assists (17) and points (45). In 16 matches last year, K-State registered 170 total shots, with 68 shots on goal and had 11 assists on 16 goals for 43 points.
• K-State needs three goals to surpass the record set last season and the Wildcats need to make eight saves in the next three matches to set the school record for total saves in a season.
Punching the Time Clock
• K-State's roster features one player that has started every match in the program's brief history (31 matches): junior defender Megan Kalkofen.
• Kalkofen led the Wildcats in minutes played in 2016 at 1,486, while also starting all 16 matches. She leads the team in 2017 in minutes played with 1362 of a possible 1377 minutes.
Larkin Owns K-State Record for Wins, Shutouts
• Senior goalkeeper Miranda Larkin has been between the pipes for all 15 matches for the Wildcats this season.

• She leads the Big 12 in saves per game (5.93), is second in total saves (89), third in save percentage (.848) and fifth in shutouts (5).
• The product of Rockwall, Texas, owns the school record for consecutive shutout minutes (266:11).
• Larkin is the K-State career record holder for shutouts with 10 and the single season leader with five.
• In the 2016 season, Larkin was responsible for the only five shutouts in program history. She finished with 77 saves and tallied a season-high for shutout minutes at 243:52.

• Larkin made her first K-State start against SIUE on Aug. 21. This was the first live match action the Rockwall, Texas, native had seen since Nov. 1, 2013, against Kansas in the Big 12 Championship as a member of the Oklahoma Sooners.
• Larkin backstopped the Wildcats with her second career shutout and a then career-high six saves in K-State's 0-0 double overtime draw at SIUE.
• At Oakland on Aug. 26, Larkin made five saves to register her first win at K-State and the second of her collegiate career. It was her first win since Aug. 25, 2013 against Kennesaw State.
