FORT WORTH, TEXAS (August 29) -- The TCU Women's Soccer team edged out Texas Tech 3-2 in a tightly contested match on Tuesday. Tech struck first when forward Carrie Graham scored on a direct kick from 20 yards out. TCU struck back after senior midfielder Jennifer Maunder scored on an unassisted goal eleven minutes into the game. Five minutes later, the Red Raiders struck once again, this time on a corner kick that was taken by defender Ellen McNamara and knocked in by midfielder Lindsey Wile.

Jennifer Maunder answered Wile's goal three minutes later after two spectacular passes from forward Sherry Dick and midfielder Lori Robbins. After four goals being scored in less than twelve minutes, the scoring finally ceased until late in the second half when TCU's Jenn Coulson scored the game winning goal on an assist from midfielder Jeanine Rogers.

She was replaced by JoDee Campbell, who later gave up the game winning goal.
