Rundown
TCU controlled the game from start to finish. In the 15th minute, Gracie Brian scored her first goal of the game from inside the six yard box past a diving Bronco goalkeeper. Thirteen minutes later, Brian received a beautiful pass from Michelle Slater and chipped the ball into the top corner of the net to give TCU a 2-0 lead.

The Frogs kept their foot on the gas in the second, scoring five times. The scoring started in the 58th minute when Messiah Bright tallied her first of the season. She slipped through two defenders and fired a laser into the top of the net to make it 3-0.

Camryn Lancaster notched her first goal of the season three minutes later after a stellar pass from Oli Pena set her up for a shot from 10 yards out. Tyler Isgrig got in on the scoring in the 70th minute as her free kick ricocheted off the far post into the net.

The Frogs closed the contest with two freshmen notching their first career goals. Remini Tillotson scored when her shot clanged off the crossbar and in. Kennedy Clountz scored off a feed from Tillotson in the 86th minute to give the Frogs the 7-0 win.

Quotes of the Game
Eric Bell
On Michelle Slater controlling the midfield:
"She is steady. Everytime you throw her out onto the field, she connects passes, she's physical and she protects the ball. All of these things don't show up on the stat sheet but they show up to help us win games."

On Tyler Isgrig's attack:
"As a youth player, we recruited her because she has a goal-scoring quality and you're starting to see that. She strikes the ball really well and can also place it where she wants it to go."
