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.

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.

2014 TEXAS TECH SOCCER TEXAS TECH IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS The Red Raiders moved up in each of the collegiate soccer polls this week, rising as high as No. 12 in the Soccer America rankings. The Red Raiders, who opened the year in the preseason top-25 polls for the second-consecutive season, jumped up 10 spots in the Soccer America rankings, marking the highest Tech has ever appeared in the poll. Tech moved up a spot in each of the other two polls as well, moving to No. 16 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire top-25 rankings and then No. 14 in the weekly poll by Top Drawer Soccer. This is the 12th-consecutive week that the Red Raiders have appeared in the NSCAA rankings, their longest streak in any of the three polls. INSIDE THE NOTRE DAME SERIES Texas Tech and Notre Dame will be meeting for the third time in each school’s history on Friday. The Fighting Irish have won each of the previous two contests, shutting out the Red Raiders in both matches following a 3-0 victory on Sept. 12, 2004, in Lubbock and then a 2-0 win on Sept. 5, 2010, in South Bend. Friday night’s match will be the lowest Notre Dame has ever been ranked when facing the Red Raiders as the Fighting Irish were No. 2 in the country in 2004 and then No. 3 nationally in 2010. INSIDE THE EASTERN MICHIGAN SERIES This is the first ever meeting between Texas Tech and Eastern Michigan. The Eagles are one of five first-time opponents for the Red Raiders this season, joining California (Sept. 12), Abilene Christian (Sept. 14), Memphis (Sept. 21) and UC Riverside (Sept. 28). RED RAIDERS OPEN 2014 WITH 5-0 ROUT OF ORAL ROBERTS Texas Tech opened its season with a victory for the seventh-straight year this past Sunday with a 5-0 rout over Oral Roberts at the John Walker Soccer Complex. Five different Red Raiders scored in the rout, beginning with Megan McCullough in just the seventh minute. Janine Beckie (11th minute) and Hannah Devine both added first-half goals to give Tech a 3-0 lead at the half before Caity Heap and Cassie Conarty connected on goals of their own over the final 45 minutes. The shutout victory was Tech’s sixth in its last seven season openers as the Red Raiders out-scoring opponents by an impressive 21-1 margin during that stretch. The 5-0 rout also matched the largest margin of victory for Tech all-time in a season opener. MURPHY SETS TEXAS TECH ASSISTS RECORD IN SEASON OPENER Alli Murphy etched her name into the Texas Tech record book in the season-opening rout of Oral Roberts where the junior midfielder dished out a single-match record four assists. Murphy contributed to Tech’s final four goals in its 5-0 victory as she found four different Red Raiders for goals. Her four assists broke the previous Tech single-match record of three that was set by former Red Raider great Taylor Lytle on Sept. 4, 2009, at TCU. Murphy, despite just playing one match during the first weekend of the season, ended the week as the Big 12 leader for assists and among the conference leaders for points. MCCULLOUGH, CONARTY CONNECT ON FIRST CAREER GOALS AGAINST ORU The Oral Roberts victory was a special one for sophomore defender Meaghan McCullough and freshman defender Cassie Conarty who both scored their first career goal in the rout. McCullough connected on the first of five goals for the Red Raiders, taking a failed clear attempt by Oral Roberts and firing a liner from 24 yards out that sailed up and over ORU goalkeeper Maddie Rhodes. Conarty, meanwhile, added Tech’s final goal as she knocked in an Alli Murphy corner kick in the 7th minute. She was the first Red Raider freshman to score in a season opener since Janine Beckie did so in 2012 against Idaho. WATSON GARNERS FIRST CAREER START, SHUTOUT AGAINST ORAL ROBERTS Texas Tech sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Watson earned her first career start in front of the net Sunday evening against Oral Roberts where she played all 90 minutes in the 5-0 victory. The shutout was the first in Watson’s career as she collected two saves in the rout. Watson joined former Tech goalkeeper Victoria Esson (2011-13) as the only Red Raiders to record a full, 90-minute shutout in their first career start during the Tom Stone era (2007-present). FEARLESS FANS PACK JOHN WALKER SOCCER COMPLEX FOR SEASON OPENER Since the John Walker Complex opened in 2008, large crowds have become quite normal as Texas Tech has averaged roughly 1,000 fans each of the past four seasons. That statement was true again this past Sunday when 1,811 fans - the third largest crowd in John Walker Soccer Complex - watched the Red Raiders hand Oral Roberts a 5-0 season-opening loss. It was the largest crowd to ever watch a Texas Tech season opener, breaking the previous mark of 1,584 in 2013 when the Red Raiders hosted Colorado State.

Tech was one of just six programs nationally with multiple players on the watch list that totaled 35 women’s players overall, three of which that came from the Big 12 Conference. This is the second-straight season where Beckie has been named to the watch list. Hinkle, meanwhile, is a candidate for the first time in her career. The 2014 MAC Hermann Trophy, which is presented annually to the top player in the country, will be presented Jan. 9 at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.

RED RAIDERS LEAD THE BIG 12 FOR VICTORIES OVER LAST TWO SEASONS Winning has pretty much become contagious for the Red Raiders the past two seasons under Tom Stone. During that stretch, Texas Tech has recorded 34 victories and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship in both seasons. This is the winningest stretch for the Red Raiders in school history as Tech won 16 matches in 2012 and then followed up with a school-record 18 victories a year ago. That success has made Tech the winningest Big 12 program the past two seasons as the Red Raiders lead all league opponents in victories as Baylor has recorded 30 wins while West Virginia has combined for 27 in third place.

This is the second-straight season where the Red Raiders have been slotted in second place by the conference coaches. Tech followed through with its 2013 preseason prediction as the Red Raiders finished 6-0-2 in Big 12 play, ending the year a point back of preseason favorite West Virginia for the Big 12 regular season title.

Oklahoma 14 RED RAIDERS RETURN BULK OF SCORING FROM 2013 Texas Tech returns over 70 percent of its scoring from the 2013 season where the Red Raiders totaled 48 goals, their most in a season since 1996. Underclassmen contributed most of that scoring as 35 of Tech’s 48 goals came from freshmen or sophomores. Janine Beckie led all Red Raiders with 12 goals which ranked among the Big 12 leaders at the conclusion of the year. She was followed by fellow sophomores Alli Murphy and Briana Rohmer who connected on five goals each as well as Caity Heap who was tied for fourth on the team with four goals. RED RAIDERS RETURNERS BY THE NUMBERS Texas Tech returns the bulk of its roster from a year ago, including its top scorers in Janine Beckie, Alli Murphy, Caity Heap and Briana Rohmer. Below are the percentages per statistical group of returning Red Raiders: PERCENTAGE OF STATS RETURNING (OFFENSIVE) Statistic Percentage Returning Goals 79 Assists 78 Points 79 Shots 76 Shots-on-Goal 75 Game-Winning Goals 72 THE HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE The John Walker Soccer Complex has become quite the home-field advantage for the Red Raiders the past few seasons. Texas Tech, behind its normal raucous crowd, is an impressive 19-2 the past two seasons at home with victories over in-state rival Texas and Big 12 regular season champion West Virginia during that stretch. The Red Raiders snapped the single-season school record with 10 home victories in 2013, breaking the previous mark of nine set just the year before. DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE While the Red Raiders have become known for their offense the past several years, it was their effort on the defensive end last season that boosted the Red Raiders to an 18-2-3 season and another trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Red Raiders posted a school-record 17 shutouts in 2013, ranking second nationally for shutout percentage and third for goals-against average after allowing only nine goals all season. Tech shut out 17 of its 23 opponents on the year for a .739 shutout percentage. Tech’s nine goals allowed matched the Big 12 record for fewest in a season that previously belonged to Oklahoma State from 2011.

2014 TEXAS TECH SOCCER BECKIE, HINKLE GARNER PRESEASON ALL-BIG 12 HONORS In addition to being named to the prestigious MAC Hermann Trophy watch list, Janine Beckie and Jalene Hinkle were both honored as preseason All-Big 12 selections by the conference coaches. Hinkle, who has received numerous preseason accolades this summer, was a unanimous selection to the team for the second-straight season after leading the Red Raiders with a team-high six assists a year ago. She and Beckie were both preseason All-Big 12 selections a year ago as well before eventually earning All-Big 12 first team honors at the end of the year. HINKLE RATED NO. 9 PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY BY TOP DRAWER SOCCER Jaelene Hinkle was rated as the ninth-best player in the country prior to the season by the soccer website TopDrawerSoccer.com. Hinkle, who was also honored on Soccer America’s Preseason All-America squad, was the third-highest ranked defender on Top Drawer’s list of the top-100 players in the country. Tech was one of just 10 programs nationally and the only one from the Big 12 Conference to have two players ranked in the top 50 as Janine Beckie also made the list at No. 44 overall. BECKIE SHINES AT FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Janine Beckie made what she described as a “trip of a lifetime” this past summer. Beckie, arguably one of the top forwards in the collegiate game, shined on the international stage as she helped lead Canada to the quarterfinals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup behind a pair of goals in the pool play stage. Beckie led all Canada players with two goals in the tournament, the first coming in a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Finland that all but kept Canada’s chances of advancing alive. She also provided the game-winning assist in the Finland victory. Beckie provided the game-winning goal herself in her next outing, a 1-0 victory over North Korea that advanced Canada past the pool play round and into the knockout stage. Germany ended Canada’s tournament run in the quarterfinals, though, with a 2-0 victory. Beckie was able to play in front of several friends and family throughout the tournament as Canada was the host country for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. WATSON LOOKS FOR FIRST CAREER START IN GOAL Following the departure of Victoria Esson due to graduation, Tom Stone knew he would have big shoes to fill in goal, especially after Esson recorded a banner year as a senior when Tech ranked second nationally in shutout percentage and third for goals-against average. Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Watson will likely get the first opportunity to continue that defensive dominance Sunday evening when it is expected she will earn the start in goal against Oral Roberts. Watson played in all 90 minutes last weekend when Tech defeated No. 25 Denver, 2-1, in its lone exhibition match of the preseason. She played in two matches last season after redshirting the 2012 season. STRAHAN GOES FROM FRESHMAN WALK-ON TO SENIOR CAPTAIN When Paige Strahan began preseason practice as a freshman in 2011, she was a walk-on out of Odessa Permian High School who was looking to not just make the team but instead earn a starting spot right away. Strahan, a relatively unknown at the time, earned that start in the 2011 season opener against Rice. Since then, she has been a regular on the field for the Red Raiders, totaling 12 goals and seven assists during that span. Her efforts were rewarded prior to this season as she and fellow senior Jaelene Hinkle were elected captains, a high honor for a Red Raider playing under Tom Stone. NARVAIZ RETURNS FROM KNEE INJURY Lubbock native Taylor Narvaiz will return to the field this fall after missing the entire 2013 season due to a preseason knee injury. Narvaiz, who redshirted the 2013 season, will have two years of eligibility remaining. She combined to play 36 matches while making 18 starts during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, giving Tech a strong option on the back line. TEXAS TECH SET FOR PAIR OF ROAD MATCHES AT NOTRE DAME, CAL The Red Raiders will face a pair of challenging road tests early in the season with trips to California and Notre Dame both on the docket. The two road matches should benefit Texas Tech late in the year when the ratings percentage index (RPI) rankings are released by the NCAA. Both Cal and Notre Dame regularly rank among the top women’s programs in the country with Notre Dame debuting at No. 16 in the NSCAA/Continental Tire rankings while Cal is receiving votes in the poll as well. The Notre Dame match will mark the first time the Red Raiders have battled a ranked opponent on the road since topping No. 20 Long Beach State on Sept. 14, 2012. TEXAS TECH, WEST VIRGINIA SELECTED TO APPEAR ON NSCAATV Texas Tech’s match at West Virginia on Oct. 10 was selected this summer to appear on NSCAATV.com, marking one of just five women’s contests nationally to be selected by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and the only one to feature a pair of Big 12 programs. This is the third time in the past four seasons where the NSCAA has selected a Texas Tech match for its television schedule. The Red Raiders previously faced Oklahoma State during both the 2011 and 2012 seasons as the NSCAA Game of the Week. RED RAIDERS WELCOME NINE NEWCOMERS TO 2014 ROSTER Texas Tech welcomed nine newcomers to its roster this fall, another talented recruiting class from head coach Tom Stone, who has landed several of the nation’s top recruits in recent years. The class of newcomers features eight freshmen and one transfer in Makenzie Kahan, who arrives at Tech as a junior following two seasons at Oklahoma State. Several freshmen are expected to contribute to the Red Raiders right away, notably Sara Summers, a native of Highland Park, Texas, who was a consistent scoring threat during preseason practices. The true freshmen class also includes goalkeepers Carissa Christensen and Marissa Torres, forwards Natalie Schmutz and Alex Marmureanu, midfielder Haleigh Fancher as well as defenders Rebekah O’Brien and Cassie Conarty.

TEXAS TECH TOPS DENVER IN LONE EXHIBITION MATCH No. 17 Texas Tech overcame an early first-half deficit with goals from Paige Strahan and Alli Murphy on Aug. 16 to top No. 25 Denver, 2-1, in the lone exhibition match of the preseason. The victory marked the second-straight year where the Red Raiders have defeated a talented Denver squad in preseason action. Denver got on the board first in just the third minute, but Tech responded shortly after with Strahan finding the back of the net in the 18th minute. Tech had to wait until midway through the second half for Murphy to connect on the game-winner in the 71st minute of play. Denver wrapped the 2013 season with 18 victories en route to advancing to the NCAA Tournament.
