Heartbreaker as Texas Tech drops one late to BYU and narrowly misses out on back-to-back Big 12 regular season championships. BYU was class as always in possession particularly without Soto (injured for Tech in Cincy game) holding down the midfield which was a concern going in. But Texas Tech hopefully will take confidence in the fact they had arguably the more dangerous build up moments, in this and it took two free kick wonders from a top 10 BYU offense to score. Kudos to them on both though as it was pretty stuff.
It has been getting better of late but the final touch bit them again tonight but on the positive side I really think Taylor Zdrojewski is going to be a star for this team. RS-So. this season she scored Texas Tech's goal in this (off a ridiculous Blackburn service, she was brilliant in this one as always) but more than that had a silly no look back flick that probably should have led to the game winner but the shot went off the post from Parsons. With Super Sam back from injury creating next year alongside Macy and all the top returning producers from this years team plus whoever they bring in, she could get 15 goals. Heck add in 10 assists for a 15/10 season before she graduates if they get her the right partner in crime....bookmark it.

Been enjoyable watching this team make a this run despite the adversity, wish it had ended in confetti but thats life. Maybe it will come in KC instead. Hoping the finishing is a bit cleaner now that a lot of these less experienced players have some postseason type stress under their belt so they can finish the season with some more fun for the seniors. RPI dropped some with loss (another reason that late goal to lose the draw stings so much) so they may need a run to the Big 12 champ game to feel good about getting a home ncaa tourney game otherwise it's road warriors they go. Please win quarterfinal game so the committee cant get too cute tho. They have a first round bye in Big 12 tournament but will face the winner of Arizona and Baylor on Nov 2nd at 530 pm. ESPN+. Wreck em!
