Man, talk about a rough weekend for TCU soccer. Their Big 12 struggles just keep on rolling, and for the first time all season, the Horned Frogs have dipped below the .500 mark after taking two brutal losses. Ouch.
One Goal Wasn’t Enough Against UCF
First up, it was a 2-1 defeat to unranked UCF, which, let’s be real, is not where you want to be dropping points. Emma Yolinsky got TCU on the board super early, cashing in an assist from Peyton Nourse in just the eighth minute. You think, “Okay, great start, let’s build on that!” But nope, the Golden Knights answered back quick, scoring in the 13th and 18th minutes. Just like that, the lead was gone. Both teams ended up with 10 shots, and TCU even had a 5-3 edge on corner kicks, but it didn’t matter. UCF found the back of the net twice, and TCU only once.
Shutout Against No. 12 Texas Tech Adds to the Pain
Then came the No. 12 Texas Tech matchup, and things somehow got worse. The Horned Frogs were shut out 1-0. Olivia Geller was doing work in goal, notching three saves, but the offense just couldn’t get anything going. TCU actually outpaced Texas Tech on corner kicks 9-6, which is wild, but the Red Raiders still managed to outshoot them 13-6 and drew TCU offsides four times. It just felt like Texas Tech was dictating the pace and making life tough. Falling to 5-6-1 overall and 2-4 in Big 12 play is a tough pill to swallow.
The Horned Frogs now have to regroup fast as they head to Waco for another conference match against Baylor on Friday evening. They desperately need to turn this ship around before things get even further out of hand.
