TOP-25 BATTLE AWAITS NO. 16 TEXAS TECH AT NOTRE DAME Texas Tech will receive its biggest test of the non-conference slate this weekend when the 16th-ranked Red Raiders travel to face No. 11 Notre Dame in a 6:30 p.m. CT battle Friday evening at Alumni Stadium. The match, which opens Tech’s weekend at the Notre Dame Invitational, will be the first of two against current ranked non-conference opponents this season for the Red Raiders, who 1-0; 0-0 BIG 12 2-0; 0-0 ACC will also face No. 21 California on Sept. 12. Tech closes the Notre Dame Invitational on Sunday morning with a 10 a.m. CT kickoff against Eastern Michigan.

2-0; 0-0 MAC

RED RAIDERS SET TO FACE HIGHEST RANKED NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENT SINCE 2010 Texas Tech head coach Tom Stone has never been one to shy away from an early-season match against a top-25 team during his tenure. The eighth-year head coach will have the Red Raiders in another top-25 battle Friday evening against No. 11 Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish will be the highest ranked non-conference opponent for the Red Raiders to face since the last time Tech and a then-No. 3 Notre Dame team met in 2010. This is the fourth time since 2010 where the Red Raiders have gone on the road to face a ranked opponent as Tech fell at No. 13 Florida in 2011 before defeating No. 20 Long Beach State in 2012. The Red Raiders will also travel to No. 21 California later this year for a Sept. 12 contest. TEXAS TECH AGAINST RANKED NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENTS UNDER TOM STONE Date Opponent Result Sept, 4, 2010 at No. 3 Notre Dame L, 0-2 Sept. 2, 2011 at No. 13 Florida L, 0-3 Sept. 14, 2012 at No. 20 Long Beach State W, 3-2 (2OT)

WHO TO WATCH

JANINE BECKIE

5-8 • F • JR The MAC Hermann award candidate connected on her first goal of the season and the 27th of her career last Sunday in Texas Tech’s rout of Oral Roberts. Beckie is now tied for fourth all-time at Texas Tech in goals scored with former teammate Jessica Fuston.

JAELENE HINKLE 5-4 • D • SR Hinkle, another MAC Hermann Trophy candidate, will be key for the Red Raiders against a lethal Notre Dame attack. The senior defender has helped lead the Red Raiders to shutouts in 18 of the previous 24 matches dating back to the 2013 season after Sunday’s 5-0 rout of ORU.

ALLI MURPHY

5-3 • MF • JR Alli Murphy snapped the Texas Tech single-match record for assists in a 5-0 rout of Oral Roberts Sunday where she dished out four overall. It was the most assists in a match for a Big 12 player since Texas A&M’s Kat Krambeer had four as well on Aug. 27, 2006, against UTSA.

LAUREN WATSON 5-10 • GK • SO Watson made her first career start in goal Sunday against Oral Roberts, posting her first career shutout in the process. The sophomore goalkeeper collected two saves in the 5-0 rout but will be counted on all weekend when the Red Raiders look to stiffle a talented Notre Dame attack.
