Stillwater, Okla. -
The Tulsa women's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to sixth-ranked Texas Tech on Friday night in the Holiday Inn & Suites OSU Invitational in Stillwater, Okla. TU fell to 6-2-1 on the season, while the Red Raiders moved to 8-0.
"It says a lot for our program that we are disappointed with a loss to the No. 6 team in the country," Head Coach Kyle Cussen said. "We ended up with more shots on goal and it was a very even game. The only difference was they finished their opportunities tonight and we didn't. Overall I am proud of the team. They played hard and had a good showing."
Rachel Thun put the Golden Hurricane on the board first at the 14:27 mark as she shot from six yards out off a Roman Edwards free kick into the box. This was Thun's sixth goal on the season.
Janine Beckie evened the score on a penalty kick in the 19th minute, and then Caity Heap gave Texas Tech a two-goal cushion heading into the break. Beckie added a second goal in the 65th minute for the final score.
The Red Raiders had a 12-9 lead in shots, while Tulsa had a 5-4 advantage in shots on goal, and Texas Tech had a 6-1 lead in corner kicks.
Claire Maris had a team-best three shots, two of which were on goal, while Lauren King added two attempts. Courtney McKeon logged all 90 minutes between the posts for one save.
