It was a fantastic debut for Matt Mott as head coach of the Oklahoma Women’s Soccer team. The Sooners rolled to a 6-0 win over Tulsa on Thursday night at John Crain Field.
A year ago, Oklahoma went 0-2-1 to start the season in their first three games and were outscored 9-3 in the process. With their offensive eruption against the Golden Hurricane, you can bet they won’t be outscored like that in their first three games this season.
“Overall, the team played really well against a good Tulsa tonight,” Head coach Matt Mott had to say after the win. “They came in here and fought us early on. When we got that first goal, it was huge for us, then as the game went on, I think we grew more into the game and realized what we were trying to do and were pretty dangerous all night.”
After stemming an early push from Tulsa, Oklahoma settled in and exploded offensively. The Matt Mott era is off to a great start in Norman.
Here are five takeaways from the 6-0 season-opening win.
