Stat Comparison Below is a look at a statistical comparison between OU and this weekend s opponents based on stats from the 2009 season. Overall Record Rank NA NA 13 Goals Assists Points Shots SOG Corner kicks Saves Shutouts Goals Allowed Next Weekend OU leaves the friendly confines of its home field to battle Colorado and Texas Tech in the first Big 12 road games of the season. The Sooners battle the Buffs at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2 and concludes the weekend on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. in Lubbock.

Senior Ashley Farrand and junior Whitney Palmer scored in Friday s victory. Sunday s loss marked the first at home suffered by the Sooners this season. Sooners in Big 12 Ranks While Kelsey Devonshire is tied for the Big 12 lead with four shutouts, two other Sooners, Dria Hampton and Whitney Palmer can be found in more than one of the conference s top five categories. Whitney Palmer ranks second in both goals scored (7) and points (16) and ranks fifth in shots. Hampton is third with 38 shots and four assists. Refer to page four for each of the Sooners ranked in the top 10 in the Big 12 statistics this week. Big 12 Openers OU has opened the Big 12 schedule on the road in each of the last three seasons. The last time OU opened Big 12 play at home was in 2005, a 2-0 win over then-no. 21 Texas. Home vs. Away While it s no secret that OU has fared better at home with a 5-1 record compared to an mark on the road, the season stats highlight the Sooners home-field advantage. In six home games, OU has outscored its opponents 13-2 and is averaging 2.17 goals per game on shots and 4.5 corner kicks. In the Sooners three road contests, they are averaging one goal on 13 shots and 4.6 corner kicks.

While Whitney Palmer leads the squad with seven scores, Michelle Alexander and Dria Hampton rank second with two goals. The latest goal-scorer, freshman Katharine Nutman, tallied her first goal in her debut at Middle Tennessee. After Nine Games While the Sooners have completed nearly half of the regular season schedule, they are off to one of the program s better starts when looking at the first nine games of a season. OU is so far in 2009 and only trails the 2005 (8-1), 2002 and 2001 (7-2) and 2000 (6-3) teams. The last time the Sooners were after nine games was the 2003 season, OU s first appearance in the NCAA tournament. Shots on Goal The Sooners have dominated opponents this season with a advantage in shots on goal. After nine games, OU already has 182 overall shots compared to 207 last season (68 on goal). OU has registered double-digit shots on goal in five contests with a mark. The Sooners recorded a season-high 32 shots against Sam Houston and a team-best 15 shots on goal against Tulsa. Hampton Has Two Assists, Ties Record Freshman midfielder Dria Hampton tied a school record with two assists in the 2-2 tie at Middle Tennessee. She is the fourth Sooner to accomplish the feat in 2009 (Michelle Alexander, Ashley Farrand and Whitney Palmer) and her performance marks the 16th time in school history. Hampton is third in the Big 12 with four assists and first with 29 shots. Palmer Records Hat Trick; Moves into Fourth Junior forward Whitney Palmer became the second player in school history to record a hat trick on Aug. 30 vs. Tulsa, tying the mark set by Logan Womack in 2002, the program s all-time leading goal scorer. Palmer was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for her efforts and has since moved into sole possession of fourth place on OU s all-time goals scored list. Below is a look the top four goal scorers in OU history: Ranks Goals Name (years) Logan Womack ( ) Jonette Coquat ( ) Savannah Scott ( ) Whitney Palmer (2007-present) Devonshire Named Big 12 Player of the Week Freshman goalkeeper Kelsey Devonshire was named the Big 12 s Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
