ROUND ROCK, Texas – No. 17 TCU fell 1-0 to West Virginia in the Big 12 Championship game on Sunday afternoon at the Round Rock Multisport Complex. Gracie Brian led the team in shots (5) and Lauren Kellett made three saves.
The Rundown
The first half was an even back-and-forth contest. Lauren Kellett got off to a hot start. She prevented the Mountaineers from scoring early in the contest with a diving save to her right in the sixth minute.
One of the Horned Frogs' best scoring opportunities came in the 11th minute. Camryn Lancaster delivered a long pass to Gracie Brian who's shot attempt from just outside the six went wide right.
The defensive battle continued throughout the second half. TCU tallied several opportunities in the final minutes, including back-to-back corners, but were unable to find the back of the net. With two minutes remaining in regulation, Brian shot high over the net, but West Virginia's Kayza Massey was there to punch it out to send the game into overtime.
West Virginia scored in the opening minutes of the first overtime period when the Mountaineers' Jordan Brewster scored on a free kick that took a bad bounce into the net.
In the 107th minute, TCU tried to capitalize on a Mountaineer offsides call. Oli Pena shot from just above the 18 right at the heart of the net, but the ball was saved.
Lauren Kellett finished the game with three saves, all of which occurred in the first half.
Stat of the Game
6 – TCU reached its sixth Big 12 Championship game in 11 years.
Quote of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
Overall thoughts on today's game
"Congratulations to West Virginia. We need to regroup, recover and get ready to play in the NCAA Tournament.
On West Virginia's physical play
"I thought in the first half we had them figured out really well. In the second half, they came back out and were a little more physical. We didn't deal with the physicality of the game very well and we got punished for it. They made us uncomfortable, and we didn't deal with that very well."
On West Virginia's goal in OT
"The ball wasn't judged very well, and it went into the back of the net. We have to be better, and we will be."
