NO. 22 TEXAS TECH TRAVELS TO NO. 9 KANSAS, TCU Texas Tech will make its final road trip of the regular season this weekend as the 22nd-ranked Red Raiders travel to face No. 9 Kansas on Friday evening and then TCU on Sunday afternoon. The Red Raiders will be facing their fourth ranked opponent already this season Friday when Tech and Kansas kick off at 7 p.m. 10-3-1; 0-3-1 BIG 12 14-1-0; 4-0 BIG 12 7-5-3; 0-2-3 BIG 12 from Rock Chalk Park. The Jayhawks enter the match riding a sixmatch winning streak, improving Kansas to 14-1 overall and 4-0 so far in Big 12 Conference play. Tech is 2-1 so far this year against top-25 opponents. Tech will return to the state of Texas on Sunday for a 1 p.m. match against TCU at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium in Fort Worth. Red Raider fans unable to make the match can watch the contest in its entirety on FOX Sports Southwest. The Horned Frogs enter this weekend just above Tech in the Big 12 standings as TCU is 7-5-3 overall and 0-2-3 in league action. TEXAS TECH AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS The Red Raiders will be facing a ranked opponent for the fourth time this season on Friday as Texas Tech is previously 2-1 this year with wins over No. 11 Notre Dame on Aug. 29 and then No. 11 California on Sept. 12. Tech is coming off a 4-2 loss last Friday night at the hands of No. 17 West Virginia. The Red Raiders had not previously defeated two ranked opponents in a single season prior to its victory over Cal. Since the start of the 2012 season, Tech is 4-4-1 against ranked opponents with wins in three of its last five matches. Kansas is the highest-ranked opponent for the Red Raiders since Tech defeated No. 9 West Virginia, 3-0, on Oct. 27 last season in Lubbock. The Jayhawks are also the highest-ranked team for Tech to face on the road since the Red Raiders fell to No. 7 Florida State, 3-2, in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.

WHO TO WATCH

JAELENE HINKLE

5-4 • D • SR The Red Raiders will rely on Hinkle both offensively and defensively this weekend as Tech looks to pick up its first Big 12 win of the season. Hinkle, rated one of the top defenders this season, has two assists this year from her spot at left back and has come close on a handful of shots.

HANNAH DEVINE

5-7 • MF/D • JR The return of Cassie Conarty allowed Devine to return to the midfield at West Virginia where she has been especially effective this year with five goals and an assist. Devine was previously forced to the back row after injuries plagued the Red Raider defense.

MEAGAN MCCULLOUGH

5-5 • D • SO McCullough will look to help control a Kansas attack Friday night that is averaging just over two goals per match. On top of her work defensively, McCullough has also added some offense this year as well with a goal and three assists which are tied for second on the team.

PAIGE STRAHAN

5-2 • MF • SR Strahan will be key for Texas Tech getting back to its winning ways this weekend as the senior is one of two captains for the Red Raiders this season. Strahan scored the first goal in a 4-2 loss at West Virginia as she connected in just the fourth minute for her third goal of the season.
