“I think that momentum has a lot to do with confidence and our confidence is at an all-time high,” coach Jacie Hoyt said. “We continue to remind ourselves what got us here. We’ve talked a lot about a verse, Galatians 6:9, ‘Do not become weary in doing good. For at the proper time, you will reap a harvest if you do not give up,’ and we’ve really focused on that last part. We have to continue to work hard, continue to be selfless and the rest will take care of itself.”

Momentum is essential, as the team will have three more games before the postseason. Two are on the road, at Kansas then at West Virginia a few days later.

After the road trip, they finish the season at home with a matchup against No. 25 Oklahoma, who is first in the conference.

The Cowgirls constantly talk about how they don’t look ahead at the schedule. A top-20 win for the Cowgirls led to them taking the third-place spot in the Big 12 rankings, but that’s not what concerns them when there is one more game in front of them.

“We literally take one game at a time, so we don’t think too far ahead,” forward Terryn Milton said. “We don’t think about past games, just whoever’s in front of us is who we’re going after. With that mentality, we don’t get caught up.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
