LUBBOCK, Texas - After the last four games on the road, the Texas Tech women's soccer team came back home to R.P. Fuller Stadium and celebrated with a 3-2 win over TCU Friday afternoon. With its first home win of the season, the Red Raiders improve to 3-2-1 while TCU's three-game winning streak was snapped. The Horned Frogs now record a 4-3 mark.
