Keefer Sets OU Single-Game Goals Scored Record, Sooners Set Team Goals Record

By: OU Athletics Communications

NORMAN — Kayla Keefer set a program record with four goals as the Sooners (1-0) set a team single-game goals record in a 9-0 rout of Northwestern State (0-1) on opening night Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Keefer tallied the ninth hat trick in program history en route to the first-ever four-goal performance by a Sooner. OU broke the team single-game goals record which was previously eight, last set against Missouri State in 2024.

Keefer reached the hat trick in under 12 minutes, while adding the fourth in the 58th minute. It was the fastest hat trick in program history. Freshmen Brenna Hallam and Kate McCallister both scored in their OU debuts, while Narissa Fults rocketed in another in her return to Norman. Returners Ally Laccinole and Isabella Martinez rounded out the scoring and Lexi Dendis, Fults and Martinez all contributed two assists apiece.
