Austin Risenhoover serves as Head Coach for Oral Roberts University's Women's Soccer program in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After instant success in year one, the Golden Eagles returned with high expectations for year two of the Risenhoover era. ORU made noise early in the season, defeating Tulsa, 2–1, for the first time in 16 years.
Two weeks later, the Golden Eagles made another statement by beating Kansas State, 2–1, marking Risenhoover’s first Power Five win as a head coach and ORU’s first since 2012. The Golden Eagles won eight games on the year and advanced all the way to the Summit League semifinals. After failing to reach the Summit League Championship match in 2023, the Golden Eagles returned with one goal in mind for the 2024 season. ORU opened the year with a grueling non-conference schedule, starting the season 2–5–1.
