Last Time Out: Tulsa Women Battle to 1-1 Draw Against North Texas

Tulsa (7-4-5, 2-2-3) and North Texas (5-9-2, 1-4-1) battled to a 1-1 draw at UNT Soccer and Track & Field Stadium on Sunday, with both teams scoring in the second half.
Schutte's effort was part of her aggressive play, matching her season high with three shots in the game. Despite multiple offensive efforts, including shots from Piper Szafranski and Kaylyn Simmons, the Golden Hurricane was unable to break through.
Sanders, in particular, was impressive, recording her second highest save count of the season with five. The first half concluded scoreless, with neither side capitalizing on their opportunities.
Tulsa's Jordan Frederick broke the deadlock in the 55th minute with a goal, marking her 11th goal of the season and giving the visiting team an early second-half lead against North Texas. Despite facing a red card issued to Lauren McIntyre in the 65th minute, which was the first red card of the season for Tulsa, Tulsa's defense, anchored by Sanders, held firm with several key saves.
The Mean Green pressed for an equalizer and finally succeeded in the 81st minute when Lillian Vandiver found the back of the net, leveling the match.

Three Golden Hurricane Named to American Preseason Watch List

Aniya Facen, Blaine Schutte and Kaylyn Simmons have been named to the American Conference Women's Soccer Watch List, the league announced Tuesday.
Three players from each program were selected for this year's watch list. Last year's regular season champion Memphis was voted to be the top squad of 2025 with six first-place votes. South Florida (4) and East Carolina (1) also received first-place votes.
Facen, a forward from Norman, Okla., is poised for a standout sophomore season after finishing as an All-Freshman selection last year. In 15 starts spanning 20 games played as a true freshman, Facen earned two goals and six assists for 10 total points. Her second goal was the game-winner at UTSA, which gave TU the eight-seed tiebreaker over the Roadrunners for the American Championship. She found openings in opposing defenses often, taking 28 total shots.
A sophomore forward from Eureka, Mo., Schutte is coming off a spectacular freshman campaign for the Golden Hurricane. She led the conference with nine goals and added two assists in the regular season to finish as the second-highest point scorer for Tulsa with 20 points. The two-time conference weekly honorable mention and one-time freshman of the week recorded braces against McNeese and Temple, Tulsa's first hat trick since 2022 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and the game-tying goal at No. 19 Memphis in the regular-season finale to finish as the 96th best freshman in the country according to Top Drawer Soccer. Schutte was awarded Second Team All-Conference and a spot on the American All-Freshman Team for her efforts.
Hailing from Norman, Okla., Simmons is set for a major comeback this season after sitting out all but the first two games last year with injury. She was listed on last year's watch list after earning All-Freshman and Second Team All-Conference honors during the 2023 season, where she earned three goals and two assists for eight points. She started in the first two games last season, earning a goal and two assists against Central Arkansas in the season-opener.
