Six of the top eight scorers return for Wyoming this season, paced by sophomore midfielder Liz O'Reilly. The Cowgirls were picked to finish fifth in the league this fall in the preseason poll.

TCU-UW Series History
The Cowgirls have had the Frogs number in the all-time series, boasting a 6-2-1 record against TCU. The two teams have only met twice at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium, both coming since the Frogs joined the Mountain West in 2005-06. TCU claimed the first two meetings in 1996 and 1997.
Last Time Out: Vs. Air Force (W, 2-1)
Senior Katie Taylor put a free kick into the net to give the TCU women's soccer team a late lead to defeat Mountain West Conference foe Air Force, 2-1, Friday night at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. The Horned Frogs hosted 2,803 fans to boast the largest crowd in stadium history. It wasn't until the 72:30 mark in the match that Taylor would line up her free kick to win the match. After Air Force took down a TCU player just outside the box, the Escondido, Calif., native bended a blast in the upper-ninety from the left corner to put the Frogs on top, 2-1. The score was the sixth of Taylor's career and the first since striking against Sam Houston State at home on Aug. 29, 2010. It was the first game-winner of her collegiate career.
