SELECT COMPANY
The Horned Frogs are among 20 teams in the NCAA that are still undefeated heading into the fifth week of the season.
Eight teams are perfect on the season, while the Horned Frogs are one of 10 teams with just one tie on their resume. Two other teams have two ties this season.
The Big 12 has three of the undefeated teams in TCU (6-0-1), Texas (6-0-1) and Kansas (5-0-2).
STINGY FROGS
TCU allowed no more than two goals in a game in 2017. The Frogs held opponents to one or no goals in 20 of the last 25 games played. The Frogs have picked up where they left off recording six shutouts in the first seven games of the season.
Being stingy has been a trait of the TCU team since Eric Bell arrived. The Frogs have allowed two or fewer goals in 52 of the last 54 games played dating back to 2015.
The Frogs have surrendered three or more goals just 12 times in 128 games.
DYNAMIC DUO
Katie Lund and Emily Alvarado have teamed up to help the Frogs post the ninth best goals against average in the nation (.275). The Frogs' .909 save percentage ranks 12th.
Lund is first all-time in career goals against average (0.84), eighth in career saves (137), second in shutouts (13.0) and sixth in minutes played (3,641).
