In the 63rd minute, sophomore Kelsey Walters watched as a shot by Texas Tech's Maggie Fete was rocketed towards the goal. Walters quickly reacted to the play, diving on the ball just before it crossed the goal. Fast forward to the 76th minute and TCU once again held off the Red Raiders as two-straight shots were saved by Horned Frog defenders in front of the net to preserve the comeback victory.
