LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech's three-game road swing continues into Seattle, where the Red Raiders will square off against Washington Thursday night at the Husky Soccer Stadium. Kick off is set for 9 p.m.

Texas Tech (1-1-2) kicked off the three-game road swing in The Golden State, where the Red Raiders earned a draw with Fullerton. Tech looks to break the two-game draw streak in its first ever meeting with Washington (3-0-1).

Karlee Stueckle is leading the team with three goals over the first four games of the season. The senior has set a single-season point total (7). Kyla Ferry and Hailey Still both have multiple goals.
