Central Oklahoma Tangles With Gorillas In Key MIAA Matchup

EDMOND – Central Oklahoma hosts Pittsburg State in a crucial MIAA match Friday afternoon as both teams fight for position in the postseason.

UCO is 7-4-5 on the season with a 5-2-3 record in the MIAA. Pitt State is 11-2-2 overall with a 6-1-2 record in league play. The regular season ends in one week and the top four teams in the final standings host a playoff game. Currently, PSU is fourth and UCO fifth.

Central Oklahoma concludes the regular season next Wednesday at home against Newman. Pitt State plays at Central Missouri this weekend and at Missouri Southern to wrap up the regular season next Wednesday.

Senior goalkeeper Avery Bass leads the MIAA with nine shutouts this season and ranks seventh in the country in clean sheets. She's allowed 13 goals in 16 games played, 0.82 per game, and has 61 saves on the season.
