Soccer Preview: Red Raiders Host Eastern Washington
September 17, 2021 | Women's Soccer
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech soccer team closes out non-conference play hosting Eastern Washington Sunday afternoon.
The Red Raiders (6-1-1) will be back in action after a week off as they're coming off a 3-2 loss to No. 20 Arizona State. Tech was trailing 3-0 at one point before Kirsten Davis tallied her team-leading sixth goal of the season and 37th of her career in the 64th minute. Seven minutes later, Charlotte Teeter found the back of the net for the first time this season, launching a free kick from 20 yards out.
The first 100 fans to show their ticket from Saturday night's football game versus FIU, will receive free admission. After that, each ticket will be $3 with your football ticket.
Scouting Eastern Washington
Sunday's matinee will be the first meeting between both programs. The Eagles will enter the contest with a 2-5-0 record as they're coming off a 1-0 win over St. Thomas Thursday afternoon. Sariah Keister leads EWU in goals (two), shots (14), and shots on goal (five). Between the pipes, two keepers have seen playing time with most of the minutes going to Kelsee Winston. She's started all six games she's appeared in, boasting a 1.69 GAA.
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. Davis is currently third all-time at Tech with 37 career goals behind Kristy Frantz (41) and Janine Beckie (57).
The Team
Texas Tech has 33 players on its roster with 20 returners and 13 newcomers. The Red Raiders have 11 freshmen on the roster along with adding transfers in Eva Hurm (Notre Dame) and Sierra Castles (Long Beach State).
Our Leader
Tom Stone picked up his 165th win with the victory over Arizona one week ago. 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.
