Throughout her time on the mound, Aycock has thrown eight complete games and recorded five shutouts, demonstrating her ability to perform under pressure.
In 2023, Aycock showcased her skills on a national stage by pitching in the Women’s College World Series, playing a crucial role in Oklahoma State’s postseason journey.

Additionally, Aycock was acknowledged for her academic achievements, making the Spring Academic All-Big 12 First Team.
One of her standout moments during the season was her remarkable performance against the reigning champions, No. 1 Oklahoma, where she pitched 6.1 scoreless innings on May 6, 2023.
