In that match, Kirsten Davis leveled the contest with her team-leading 12th goal of the season in the 36th minute of play. Davis is currently tied fourth in the nation when it comes to goals, just two goals shy of the top mark. Meanwhile, freshman Ashleigh Williams is second on the team with eight goals while another newcomer in Macy Blackburn leads the club in assists with eight.
In goal, Madison White has played each minute, boasting a 0.76 GAA to go along with 34 saves. White is first in the Big 12 when it comes to her save percentage (.831).
Scouting Iowa State
The Cyclones sit a 4-7-0 overall with a 1-2-0 record in the Big 12. Most recently, they are coming off a 1-0 loss to Texas last Friday. Six players have tallied a goal this season with Mira Emma and Lauren McConnell each netting two. Emma leads the clubs in assists (two).
Two keepers have seen action this season with Jordan Silkowitz making nine starts. She holds a 1.26 GAA to go along with 46 saves.
Team Captains
Davis and Cassie Hiatt are serving at team captains for the second straight season. A defender from Parker, Colorado, Hiatt has been a dominate player for the Red Raider defense for three seasons beginning with a Big 12 All-Freshman campaign to get started. Hiatt earned All-America honors as a sophomore along with All-Big 12 First Team. Davis, who was selected No. 13 in the NWSL College Draft, decided to return to school to play her fifth season at Texas Tech. She had 16 goals as a junior to earn Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and All-America honors.
Our Leader
A Dallas native who won a national championship as a player at Duke, Stone is in his 15th season leading the program after roles at Denver, Duke and Clemson. He has led the Red Raiders to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including to the Sweet 16 in 2014. Tech won the 2015 Big 12 Tournament and has had eight double-digit win seasons under Stone's leadership.
Our Gold Medalist
Texas Tech welcomed Janine Beckie back to Lubbock on Saturday, August 14 after the former Red Raider helped lead Canada to the gold medal in Tokyo. Beckie, who is the all-time leading goal scorer in Tech history with 57, is currently playing professionally with Manchester City FC. Canada won the gold medal with a shootout win over Sweden in the championship game.
