IRVING, Texas – Oklahoma State swept the first Big 12 Conference weekly awards of the spring following its 3-0 victory over Little Rock.

Olyvia Dowell was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, while Kim Rodriguez earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week accolades. Emily Plotz captured Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week honors, and Alex Morris rounded out the list as the Big 12 Freshman of the Week.
