RED RAIDERS AGAINST RANKED NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENTS Texas Tech will look to continue its recent success against ranked non-conference foes Friday against the Golden Bears.

The Fighting Irish were the highest-ranked team Tech has ever defeated on the road in school history. The Red Raiders are 3-2 all-time against ranked non-conference opponents under eighth-year head coach Tom Stone.

WHO TO WATCH

ALLI MURPHY

5-2 • MF • JR Murphy enters this weekend among the NCAA leaders in assists as she has recorded seven through just five matches this year. Murphy, who currently ranks tied for third nationally in total assists, came into her 2014 junior season with seven career assists.

HANNAH DEVINE

5-7 • MF • JR Devine, the reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, leads the Red Raiders with five goals this season, four of which that have come off set pieces. All three of Devine’s goals last weekend against Sam Houston State and Portland State came off Alli Murphy corner kicks.

JANINE BECKIE

5-8 • F • JR Texas Tech will look for Beckie on the attack against Cal as the junior is among the alltime leading goal scorers in school history with 28 in just over two seasons. Beckie, a Hermann Trophy candidate, needs one more goal to move into third place in the Texas Tech career record book.

JAELENE HINKLE 5-4 • D • SR Hinkle, another MAC Hermann Trophy candidate, will lead a Texas Tech back line that will look to silence a Cal attack that is averaging just over three goals per match in six contests this year. Tech has allowed only three goals this season while recording a pair of shutouts.
