FORT WORTH – No. 12 TCU opened Big 12 play with a 1-1 draw against No. 23 Texas Thursday night at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. Camryn Lancaster scored the game-tying goal and Lauren Kellett finished the contest with six saves.

The Rundown
Down a goal late in the second half, Camryn Lancaster converted a penalty kick in the 70th minute to tie the contest at one. Messiah Bright drew the foul in the box, setting up Lancaster's equalizer.

The first half was a back-and-forth battle up until the 42nd minute. Texas' Holly Ward chipped a shot in right in front of the net to make it a 1-0 contest.

Kellett shined in the second half to keep the deficit at one. Her most impressive stop came in the 50th minute when she made a diving save to her right to prevent Texas from scoring on a free kick from about 20 yards out.

TCU nearly found the game-tying goal in the 53rd minute. Messiah Bright delivered a beautiful shot on the left side of the goal, but the Texas goalkeeper made the diving save.

The Frogs' best look in the final minutes of the contest came on a shot from Oli Pena in the 79th minute that trickled just wide.

Stat of the Game
5 - Five of Lauren Kellett's six saves came in the second half.

Quote of the Game

On Lauren Kellett's performance
"It was a solid performance by her. She was really steady and that's what we will look for from her moving forward."
