Red Raiders advance on PKs
KANSAS CITY – TCU and Texas Tech battled to a scoreless draw in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championships at Swope Soccer Village Sunday afternoon. The Red Raiders advanced to the semifinals on penalty kicks (5-3). Emily Alvarado made five saves in recording her sixth shutout of the season.
The Rundown
Both TCU and Texas Tech had chances to get on the scoreboard throughout the game. Both teams hit a crossbar. Texas Tech outshot the Horned Frogs 18-13 and 5-4 in shots on goal.
TCU's best look at goal in the first half came in the 30thminute off a corner kick from Kayla Hill. Karitas Tomasdottir fired in a shot that was blocked by a defender. Tara Smith's attempt at the rebound was saved and Tijana Djuricek's follow-up shot was also blocked out of danger.
The second half played out similarly with both teams getting chances at goal, but unable to convert. Emily Alvarado came up with two quality stops in the half to keep the Red Raiders off the board. She made a leaping save on a header in the 62ndminute and a diving stop on a shot from in tight in the 67thminute.
McKenzie Oliver had TCU's best look in the half, but her shot also deflected off the crossbar and was cleared out of danger by the Texas Tech keeper.
The overtimes were packed with action, but neither team converted. Each team generated two corner kicks and Texas Tech held a 6-3 shot advantage. A missed penalty kick by the Frogs in the second round gave the Red Raiders the lead. They converted all five kicks to advance.
Stat of the Game
5– All three of TCU's goals were scored in the second half.
Quotes of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
On the game:
"I thought that our second half was much better than our first half. We gave ourselves the chance to win in that second half, and I thought we did good in the overtime, as well. When it comes down to penalty kicks you never know what's going to happen. Congrats to them for being able to make all five. Hopefully we have another chance to play come the first round of the NCAA tournament."
