SERIES HISTORY
OU and Georgia are playing for the third time in series history and for the second time this season. The series is split, 1-1, with each team earning a win on the road. OU won in Athens, 3-1, this season.
TOURNAMENT INFO
The SEC Tournament is comprised of four rounds and follows a single-elimination format. A total of 12 teams make the field, with the first four seeds earning a bye in the first round. OU enters as the No. 7 seed, while Georgia is slotted at No. 10. Every game will be played at the Ashton Brosnaham Soccer Complex in Pensacola, Fla.
OU is 0-1 all-time in the SEC Tournament since joining the conference before the 2024 season. The Sooners dropped a 1-0 decision to Mississippi State in last year's trip to Pensacola.
LAST TIME OUT
OU dropped the regular season finale at Tennessee, 3-1, getting a goal from Sophie Morrin and 11 corner kicks in the second half alone despite the loss.
THE SCOUT
Georgia enters play 6-5-6 and 3-3-4 in the SEC. The Bulldogs are 2-2-1 over their last five matches and are most recently coming off a 1-1 draw at Florida thanks to a goal late into the rivalry matchup. UGA enters its 25th appearance in the SEC Tournament.
UGA is in the fifth year of the Kiedane McAlpine era. The Bulldogs are seeking their fifth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. Emma Pettersen and Honoka Hamano are tied for the team lead with four goals apiece.
ALL-CONFERENCE SOONERS
Oklahoma had three honorees on the 2026 All-SEC Teams. Kayla Keefer (first team), Elle Canty (second team) and Kate McCallister (all-freshman) rounded out Oklahoma's honorees. Keefer became the first Sooner since 2019 to earn first team laurels.
MAC HERMANN TROPHY WATCH LIST RECOGNITION
Junior forward Kayla Keefer was named to the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List. Keefer is one of 30 players across the country tabbed to the list as she leads the nation in goals (20) and points (43).
NATIONAL HONORS
Kayla Keefer headlined the awards the week of October 19, taking home Top Drawer Soccer National Player of the Week honors in addition to her SEC laurels. She was also selected at number four in the publications top 100 midseason rankings and was named IWSOC National Player of the Week.
Paige Califf came in at number 57 in the TopDrawer rankings and Kate McCallister was slotted at 48 among freshmen.
RE-WRITING THE RECORD BOOK
Keefer set the program single-season goals scored and points record Oct. 15 at Mississippi State, breaking Whitney Palmer's record of 15 goals and 32 points from the 2009 season. She is currently tied with former Florida Gator and U.S. Women's National Team great, Abby Wambach, for the most hat tricks by an SEC player in a season with four. She also ranks third in school history for career goals (27).
FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK
Freshman Kate McCallister earned her second SEC Freshman of the Week honor of the season after being tabbed to the honor Monday, Oct. 5. The freshman is the first two-time SEC Freshman of the Week in program history. Three of her four goals this season have come on the road (at Oklahoma State, at Georgia and at Texas).
NOTABLE NUMBERS
2: Oklahoma is making its second appearance in the SEC Tournament after debuting last season. Caroline Duffy made 10 saves although Mississippi State won thanks to a winner in the 89th minute.
10: Scoring first has been a big indicator of success this season. OU is 10-1-2 when scoring first. Ironically, OU's only win this year when not scoring first came in a 3-1 win at Georgia Sept. 18.
11: OU's 11 wins are its most since the 2016 season when the Sooners won 16 matches and made their last trip to the NCAA Tournament.
52: OU's 52 goals ranks second in the SEC and third in the nation. It's already 14 more goals than the previous program record of 38 (set in 2024 and 2025).
