Washington Sets Career Assists Record as Sooners Defeat Tulsa, 4-1

August 24, 2025 | Soccer

Canty notches brace OU Starts Season 4-0 for the First Time Since 2009

NORMAN — Freshman and Norman native Elle Canty tallied a brace in her first career start as the No. 22 Oklahoma Sooners (4-0) defeated Tulsa, 4-1, Sunday, Aug. 24. Senior Alexis Washington notched her 20th career assist in the win, setting the Oklahoma program record.

OU 4, Tulsa 1
OU started the match with two quick shots on goal before freshman Elle Canty made it 1-0 in the eighth minute. Tulsa attempted to clear a cross although it bounced to Canty on the wing as she found the back of the net between a Tulsa defender and goalkeeper. 

The Golden Hurricane converted one of their three shots on goal in the 30th minute to tie things up. 
Clark responded with a momentum shifting goal in the 35th minute. Luciana Setteducate played the ball to the middle before Juliette Rayo setup Clark as she slotted a shot just inside the left post. 

Similar to OU's second half start against both Creighton and East Texas A&M, the Sooners scored 85 seconds out of the break when Canty took a cross from Washington and found the back of the net. 

Just over three minutes later, Kayla Keefer converted a penalty kick goal to make it 4-1. From there the Sooners won the possession game and claimed their fourth straight game by the help of four goals.
