A Point Earned Amid Adversity
The Bulldogs opened their 2026 campaign with a 2-2 draw against Colorado Christian, a match that saw both sides strike early and trade blows throughout.
Alexis Byrd opened the scoring for SWOSU in the eighth minute, finishing a quick move that stemmed from a scramble for possession.
Just 30 seconds later, Sarahi Delgadillo responded with her first career goal, leveling the contest after a similar chaotic play.
The momentum shifted in the second half when Byrd struck again, putting the Bulldogs behind, but Delgadillo's aggressive tackle earned her a second yellow card, reducing the side to ten men for the final 25 minutes.
With the numerical advantage, Colorado Christian pressed, but Kinsey Geasland's 87th‑minute strike restored parity, sealing a point for the Bulldogs. SWOSU outshot their opponents 16‑9, with Braelee Epp testing the keeper three times without finding the net.
The Bulldogs will now travel to Austin, Texas, for their first road test of the season, facing St. Edward’s on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
