Sooners Clinch Berth in 2026 SEC Tournament

By: OU Athletics Communications

OXFORD, Miss. — Kayla Keefer collected her fourth hat trick and second in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play as the Sooners (11-2-3, 5-3 SEC) cruised past Ole Miss (7-9, 0-8 SEC), 6-1, Sunday, Oct. 15. The Sooners also clinched a berth in the SEC Tournament with the victory.

Narissa Fults notched her second brace of SEC play and Elle Canty scored for the second time in as many games, helping OU set a program record for goals scored in a conference match.

OU's scoring came early, often and in bursts Sunday.

The Sooners scored three goals in the first half and three goals in the second half, with the three tallies in the second session coming in a span of two minutes and 14 seconds.

Keefer started the afternoon from the penalty spot, converting after OU was awarded the opportunity following a successful review. Fults completed the brace with scores in the 15th and 22nd minutes, carrying OU to a 3-0 lead at the half.

OU put the game out of reach with three goals in less than a three-minute span just minutes into the second half. Keefer scored two and Canty shifted around the defense for another to carry the Sooners to their highest goal total in league play in the 31-year program history.

Ole Miss scored its lone goal on a header off a set piece in the 55th minute.
