Soccer team yields tie, loss in home tourney

The women’s soccer team completed its nonconference schedule at home this weekend, finishing with one tie and one loss in the TCU Tournament.

In a tournament where the weather made for unfavorable playing conditions, the Frogs were unable to take full advantage of their home turf. The Frogs played Oklahoma to a 1-1 overtime tie on the tournament’s first day and then lost to Baylor 4-0 on the second day.

Junior forwards Amy Van Zandt and Jessi Moore combined to account for the Frogs only goal of the tournament. Van Zandt’s goal, which was her second of the year, gave the Frogs a first-half lead. Despite outshooting Oklahoma 17-5, the Frogs couldn’t get another ball past Oklahoma goaltender Catherine Wade.

TCU had an even harder time scoring against Baylor Sunday. The Frogs had many opportunities in the first half to get an early lead but couldn’t find the back of the net. Baylor outshot the Frogs 13-9 and scored two goals in each half.

The Frogs, who bring a 2-3-1 overall record into Conference USA action, will play at Cincinnati 6 p.m. Saturday and at DePaul 1 p.m. Sunday.
