Cowgirl FC in the UK

The Oklahoma State Cowgirl soccer team will embark on a 12-day trip to the United Kingdom May 14, and OSU soccer fans can follow the Cowgirls' trip via OSU's official website, OKState.com, as blogs and pictures from the trip will be posted throughout the trip.

During the trip overseas, the Cowgirls will visit England and Scotland. Along with several training sessions, the team will play five exhibition games, four in Scotland and one in England. 

Among the teams OSU will compete against are the No. 1 team in Scotland, Glasgow Celtic, and Scottish Cup finalist Glasgow Rangers. The Cowgirls will also take on English FA Cup finalist Sunderland, who narrowly lost in the FA Cup final to Arsenal Ladies, as well as Kilmarnock Ladies and Hibernian Ladies.

The Cowgirls will also visit numerous cultural and historical sites, including the Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, the Stirling Castle and William Wallace's monument, and will take in two professional soccer matches, one in the Scottish Premier League and one in the English Premier League.

"This trip is a wonderful opportunity for our student-athletes to learn about another culture and play some competitive matches," said OSU head coach Colin Carmichael. "We will be visiting many historical sites and have the opportunity to interact with players from the UK.

"From a soccer standpoint, we are playing an additional five games which most other NCAA Division I teams will not get to play this year. These matches will help to prepare our team as we look forward to defending our Big 12 title this fall."

OSU's trip was made possible through the generous donations of OSU soccer fans who contributed to the OSU Goal Club.

"I would like to thank all of our loyal fans who participated in the Goal Club over the past few years for helping to make this trip possible," Carmichael said. "I would also like to thank Coach (Mike) Holder and our administration for supporting us in this endeavor. The team is very excited and cannot wait to compete in international matches."

Cheerio Cowgirl Fans!
 
This will be the final blog from the United Kingdom as Cowgirl Soccer departs from Glasgow Airport today to return to Stillwater. It has been an amazing trip on so many levels -- cultural experience, tremendous soccer, and the opportunity to grow together as a team (especially when Kasey found Jee-sus on the haunted tour).

Hey fans,

This morning we woke up at our hotel in Scotland, and after breakfast we got on the bus to make the three-hour trip to Durham, England. There we were able to visit the Durham Cathedral, which to our surprise has been standing since 1093. The inside was amazing; the detailed artwork on the stained glass was my favorite part by far.

'Ello everyone!!

Today's adventure in Scotland led us first to Rosslyn Chapel. For anyone who doesn't know about it, it was made famous by the Da Vinci Code!!! The chapel itself is very beautiful and although it has scaffolding surrounding it for its conservation, the beautiful stone carvings and stained-glass windows and overall architecture still showed through. The historical significance of the chapel is rather awe-inspiring as well.

Goodbye Glasgow! Hello Edinburgh!

We woke up early, just to fall back asleep on the two-hour bus ride to Edinburgh. We awoke to find ourselves surrounded by an array of buildings, similar to the ones you picture were existent in the olden days. Go figure, these buildings were, as a matter of fact, as old as we could imagine. The town had a miraculous atmosphere, characterized by one-way streets and hills that made the city look crowded, yet peaceful.

Greetings from Scotland!

Today was a bit more relaxing then our usual schedule. We woke up around nine, ate breakfast, and loaded the bus. We headed to Troon to stretch our legs and get a few shots on goal.

Hey fans!

This morning we woke up bright and early to hit the streets of Glasgow. We shopped around with the locals on Buchanan street which was the street where the majority of the shopping took place. There was an assortment of shops from trendy clothing shops to mainly "football" shops. There was even a shop designated for only kilts... both men and women!

IT'S SOCCER TIME COWGIRL SOCCER FANS!!!

On a drizzly Monday morning, the bus set out on a scenic tour along the southwest coast of Scotland to Ayrshire. Little did we know we were about to run into an optical illusion on the road towards the castle. It was almost like David Copperfield was there! The bus was going uphill while being in neutral... that's at least how it appeared to all of us. But we were actually going downhill. Weird, right?! Scottish ghosts???

Hey fans!

We're wrapping up our second full day here in Scotland and right now everyone's just relaxing and catching up with their families back home. It's definitely different not being able to just pick up our phone and make a call; we're forced to stay in touch through e-mail and Skype.

The plane rides were fairly smooth with the exception of the first one where we hit rough turbulence. On the seven-hour flight from New Jersey to Glasgow most people slept a little bit, but we were very tired when we arrived at 7 a.m. Scotland time.

We were told to stay awake after we grabbed our luggage so that we would be able to sleep that night, but all we wanted to do was rest. To keep us awake we went and grabbed lunch at a local restaurant, which one of Colin's friends owns. The food was great, and we were all starving.
