Women’s soccer team loses weekend matches

The women’s soccer team lost two games on the road this weekend, falling to both Memphis and Tulane by the score of 4-0.

On Friday, freshman Nicky McLeod had a pair of goals for the Tigers and Katarina Wicksell recorded her third straight shutout as Memphis blanked the Frogs, the third straight match Memphis held a conference opponent scoreless. Midfielder Kirsty Marr gave the Lady Tigers the only goal they would need in the seventh minute when she connected on a free kick from 18 yards out through the hands of TCU goalkeeper Ruth DeJong.

Sunday, Tulane scored a pair of goals in each half to cruise to a 4-0 victory over TCU.

Tulane wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as Colleen Lake put the Wave ahead 1-0 in the 10th minute. Emily McArthur sent a free kick into the penalty area, where Lake got just enough of her head on the ball to redirect it past DeJong.

The Green Wave held a 16-7 edge in shots and forced five saves from the two TCU goalkeepers, and had a 4-1 edge in corner kicks.

The Frogs (2-12-5, 1-6-2 C-USA) close out its season Friday at Houston.
