STILLWATER, Okla. – Two converted penalty kicks by the Horned Frogs helped power No. 10 TCU to a 3-0 win over Oklahoma State on Thursday night at Neil Patterson Stadium. Three different Frogs scored and Lauren Kellett posted her sixth shutout of the season.

The Rundown
TCU controlled possession for the majority of the first period, outshooting Oklahoma State 9-1 in the half. TCU's first good look came in the 7th minute. Gracie Brian received a stellar cross from Camryn Lancaster just outside the six, but her header was saved.

In the 16th minute, the Horned Frogs capitalized on a Cowgirl foul as Lancaster converted a penalty kick to put the Frogs up 1-0.

Lauren Kellett came up huge in the last three minutes of the half, making a diving stop on the Cowgirls lone look at goal in the frame.

The second half saw TCU continue to control the tempo. The Frogs generated several scoring opportunities, holding a 7-2 shot advantage. They finally found some breathing room in the 73rd minute. Messiah Bright corralled a deflected free kick ball into the top shelf for a 2-0 lead.

Another foul in the box plagued Oklahoma State in the 84th minute. Tyler Isgrig converted the Frogs' second penalty kick of the game to extend the TCU lead to 3-0.

Kellett finished the contest with three saves in her sixth clean sheet this season.

Stat of the Game
2 – TCU converted two penalty kicks in a game for the first time since 2019 when the Horned Frogs defeated Oklahoma 2-1 (Sept. 26, 2019).

Quote of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
Overall thoughts on the game
"Overall, it was a very good performance from our group from beginning to end. I thought we did some things tactically that we wanted to do. We possessed the ball, created scoring opportunities and didn't give up a lot of opportunities defensively. It was a complete effort by our group for 90 minutes and I'm really proud of them for getting three points on the road like this."

On finishing the game
"We talked about it at the half. It was the same scenario that happened last week and did we learn any lessons? I think we did. Oklahoma State made it hard for us in the second half and I felt we rose to the occasion and sealed the game away."

On Lauren Kellett's consistent play
"She has grown by leaps and bounds from her freshman year until now. She's pretty steady in the back and has a calming presence. It's hard when we have the ball and then she's supposed to perform on these different occasions when teams actually build up and create a goal-scoring opportunity. It's hard to be plugged in and not have action in front of you all the time. Her concentration level has been very good and hopefully that continues."
