Notes: After a historic undefeated regular season and Big 12 Championship in 2023...Texas Tech soccer looks to reload and carry the momentum into 2024. Preseason coaches poll has Texas Tech at #8, which is a nod of respect for the program as I think everyone in the soccer world is watching from afar to see how this years team looks after losing four starters to graduation (three now playing pro soccer at that) and a 5th to miss at least the first month of the season recovering from a SEI at the end of last season. Key players like Kylie Bahr, Sam Courtwright (she will miss a chunk of Big 12 games however due to international duty playing for team usa in U-20 World Cup) and Chloe Soto are a year older now though plus the team returns leading goal scorer Ashleigh Williams as well as key seniors Elise Anderson and Cassie Taylor. Key transfer addition in Peyton Annen (will step into centerback role previously held by team captain Hannah Anderson the last 5 seasons) and perhaps UCLA transfer Faith Ngyuen will get the tough task of replacing the all-time leader in shutouts as a keeper Madison White, a very talented GK room though so very intrigued to see who wins this job.
Season gets underway tonight with an exhibition @ Denver as is the tradition for this program then the real thing begins with a really really tough but fun trip to #4 Penn State August 15.
2024 Schedule:
8/8 @ Denver (EXB)
8/15 @ Penn State
8/18 vs. CSUN
8/22 vs. St. Bonaventure
8/25 @ Utah State
8/29 vs. Weber State
9/1 vs. Oral Roberts
9/5 vs. Oregon
*Start of Big 12 Play*
9/12 @ TCU
9/19 vs. UTAH
9/22 @ OSU
9/26 @ KState
9/29 @ Houston
10/4 vs. Baylor
10/10 vs. Colorado
10/13 vs. Iowa State
10/17 @ WVU
10/20 @ Cincy
10/25 vs. BYU
I think most will be interested to see how the beginning of season goes as they sort out the new faces, players returning from injury and potentially missing Courtwright for a few weeks (hoping she gets to play vs Penn State at least) but with how road heavy the Big 12 schedule is to start....they have every opportunity with a lot at home in second half to make up ground if that's what it comes to. Beat BYU to end the conference season in front of a sold out John Walker and be peaking heading into postseason....manifest that. 🧘♀️
