COMMERCE, Texas (Nov. 6, 2021) – Despite being picked last in the preseason Lone Star Conference women's soccer poll, Oklahoma Christian finished ninth out of 14 teams.
 
In its final game of the 2021 season, OC (4-8-4, 4-5-4 Lone Star Conference) traveled to play Texas A&M-Commerce (9-7-2, 7-5-1) on Saturday and lost 9-0, with goals being scored by eight different Lions.
