TCU sets new attendance record with 3,648 fans
FORT WORTH – No. 6 TCU suffered its second loss of the season, falling to No. 2 Duke 3-1 Sunday night at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. TCU set an attendance record with 3,648 fans in the stands.
The Rundown
Duke struck early, taking a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute. Michelle Cooper broke away from her defenders, raced in on goal and fired home her first of the game.
Despite being behind the majority of the first half, TCU was able to create numerous scoring opportunities. In the 20th minute, Oli Pena found Olivia Hasler inside the six, but Duke's Ruthie Jones was there to make the save.
Continuing the trend, TCU kept getting chances on the offensive end. The Horned Frogs tallied five corner kicks in the first six minutes of play, but couldn't find the back of the net. The Frogs' best opportunity came off a shot from Camryn Lancaster in the 47th minute, but Jones made a leaping save to punch the ball away.
Back-to-back goals by Duke early in the second put the Blue Devils up 3-0.
TCU scored its lone goal on a set piece. Tyler Isgrig's corner kick bounced around in the 18 eventually working its way to Oli Pena. She found Messiah Bright, who tapped the ball to an open Lauren Memoly. She fired a laser into the bottom right corner of the goal to cut the lead to 3-1.
Stat of the Game
3,648 – TCU shattered its attendance record with 3,648 fans at Garvey-Rosenthal. The previous record was set last season against Texas A&M on Aug. 22 (2,994).
Quote of the Game
Head Coach Eric Bell
On tonight's game
"Obviously, it didn't go the way we wanted it to go. We played a good team, we put a good schedule together and we look at those opportunities as opportunities lost. We have to fix some things from a defensive standpoint and we also need to be better about creating goal-scoring opportunities."
On tonight's attendance record
"It's amazing what we've been able to create. A huge thank you to the community at-large, the student body, as well as friends and family. It was an awesome environment for a big-time college soccer game and our apologies for not sending everyone home more happy."
