Lauren Kellett's first collegiate save came in the 24^th minute as she had to make a tough stop on Taylor Ziermer after her shot deflected off a TCU defender and on goal.

Quotes of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
On the game:
"Congrats to Texas A&M on getting the job done. I don't think at the end of the day, we were quite good enough. We need to get better in some areas and learn from this experience. We created some chances, but I don't think our approach was good enough tonight. We've got to get ready for Notre Dame next week."

On Lauren Kellett's first career start:
"Tonight was huge for her development and her maturation. This was a tough environment, but I thought she responded well. The future's bright for her."
