New stadium, fan support boost Cowgirls’ home-field advantage gran t r am ir ez staff reporter @ g r an t_r a m ir ez 3

Haley Woodard pushed the ball into the middle of the field, shaking her defender for just enough separation.

With her right foot, Woodard delivered a strike past the leaping goalkeeper’s arms and into the top right corner of the net.

The crowd at Neal Patterson Stadium burst into excitement as the score capped the Oklahoma State women’s soccer team’s victory against San Francisco.

After the final whistle, the players made their routine victory lap around the north end of the complex, giving high fives to fans in the student section who came out to support them.

In the first six games at the Cowgirls’ new stadium, they haven’t lost. They’ve scored 14 goals while allowing only three. They picked up a signature victory, taking down then-No.5 Florida in a doubleovertime thriller.

But OSU playing well at home is nothing new.

The Cowgirls went undefeated in Stillwater last season, while Neal Patterson Stadium was nothing but an unfinished concrete structure bordering the grass field.

on their home turf going back to the end of the 2016 season.

“I think every team is better at home,” coach Colin Carmichael said.

“But for us I know our kids enjoy playing in front of our fans.

Especially this year, it’s really a great environment.”

Although the Cowgirls have been playing well at home for years, the new stadium is a huge boost for OSU’s home-field advantage.

Before this season, the Cowgirls’ home was only a field with a standard set of bleachers on the the west side of the pitch.

But this year, the complex is a proper stadium rather than just a simple field, featuring a main grandstand covered with a massive awning and a new student section.

The place isn’t finished yet, with an incomplete press box, locker room and video board, but once completed, it will stand as one of the top college soccer complexes in the country.

“We’ve just started to take pride in our field,” Woodard said. “Especially now, with all this, it’s like, ‘Nobody else deserves to come in here and win in this place.’

“We just take home games really seriously.

We really embrace the crowd and all the fans that come, and that re-

tices.

“The Orange Outlaws right behind us do a great job and the Booker Boys,” freshman Grace Yochum said.

“Everyone is just here to support us, and they love on us, and it makes us push that much harder.”

Coming off two road wins to open Big 12 play, the Cowgirls and their home-field advantage were put to the test this weekend.

SURROUNDED BY WITNESSES! (Part #5) What a witness Abraham is; even today!

Trusting God, he obeyed the call of God to go into land he would later inherit. As he started, Abraham did not even know where he was going. (Heb.11:8) Imagine the challenge! He trusted God in stepping out to adventure with him.

Trusting God, Abraham lived in this land of promise, even though he owned nothing there. He lived in tents waiting for the promise to be fulfilled. He did not raise an army to fight, but waited, believing God would fulfil his promise.

It was 400 years later that the promise was fulfilled.(Ps.105:8-42) God watches over his promises to perform them! He trusted God, even waiting God’s time.

God promised Abraham a son. Through this son, God would bless the whole

world. (Gen.22:18) However, God would have to do something extraordinary, for the promised son was to come through his wife Sarah, who was passed the age of childbearing. Yet, Abraham counted God faithful who made the promise. It happened!

(Heb.11:11-12) He trusted God to enable a supernatural birth!

When God asked Abraham to offer this promised son as a sacrifice, he obeyed to the point of death. He trusted that God could even raise Isaac from the dead to fulfil his promised blessing.(Heb.11:17-19) Abraham’s walk of faith is a bright witness to all of us. God can be trusted! You and I will find him faithful as Abraham did. He challenges us to trust and follow his Son. God has a plan that counts for eternity.

I have found him faithful over many years; not because I am special, but because he is faithful as I followed him. I encourage you to take the hand of Jesus, and find all he will do in and through you.

Asian, Vietnamese American Student Associations host Harvest Moon festival megan hays campus news editor @ o c olly

For 16 years, the Asian American Student Association and the Vietnamese American Student Association at Oklahoma State University have collaborated to celebrate a major Asian holiday.

Friday, the two student organizations hosted the Harvest Moon Festival to give students the experience of the different aspects of the holiday.

Many Americans don’t know about the Harvest Moon Festival, but Courtney Brendal, Miss Asian OSU, has helped hundreds of others celebrate.

“It is an annual Asian

festival,” Brendal said.

“It’s kind of the American Thanksgiving where friends and family get together during the harvest season and basically celebrate friendship, unity and togetherness.”

Many of the students who attended the event, including global studies freshman Audra Messenger, said they were unfamiliar with the traditional megan hays/O’COLLY Students perform a traditional Asian drum arrangement holiday. during the Harvest Moon Festival in the Wes Watkins “I kind of wanted to see what they were going Center on Friday. to do,” Messenger said. with students. our cultures and how we “Harvest Moon festival, “This is our way to to are.”

countries and traditional games, including Kutikuti. Brendal said these activities display the vast diversity of the represented cultures.

“We have a lot of Chinese culture, which is one of the main focuses we are working on tonight, but we also have a lot of equally important cultures like Hmong culture, Japanese culture, Korean culture,” Brendal said. “We have a fashion show focusing on Saudi Arabian culture as well.

There is just a ton of different ethnicities here tonight, and we are very excited to showcase as many as we can.”

The proceeds from the event are donated to United Way, a non-

profit organization.

While AASA and VASA members educated others about their culture, they gave back to the community.

“We just want them (attendees) to appreciate Asian culture,” Wong said. “It is very unique. If you look at our cultural wear, we are all very different, they are all very colorful, they’re all beautiful in their own way. We just want people to understand that there are way more than just five Asian cultures, there are many more than that.”
