TCU Soccer on the International Scene

TCU Soccer is making waves on the international soccer scene. Former goalkeeper Kelsey Walters landed in Iceland last week and has her first professional game with KR this Wednesday. KR is traditionally one of the stronger teams in Europe! Good luck Wally!

And new signee, Monica Alvardo, just flew from Mexico City to Cancun today with the Mexican National Team. Monica is in the running to make Mexico's World Cup squad for this June!

Best of luck to both of you and great job in representing TCU world wide!

Congrats to our 2011 TCU Soccer Grads!

Congrats Tara, Jackie, Nikki and Cheryl!

Purple & White Competition

The annual purple and white competition is going strong at the moment. On Tuesday things really got interesting when the game of the day was flag football. The girls were very into it and devised plays on both sides of the ball. It was a good game that went both ways and the physical play was all fun and part of the game.

Today the competition continues with sand volleyball. White team looks to get a point back as the purple team leads the competition. It should be another great day with perfect temperatures for a sand volleyball match today. good luck girls.

Good end to Spring Season

This past weekend the girls' finished off the spring season with a great result with Texas. On Saturday the horned frogs fought back and tied Texas 2-2 with more chances to score than Texas it was definitely TCU's day. It was a great result for the girls and giving them great momentum into next year. Later that night we held our annual Soccer Banquet where we honored the seniors and handed out all of the team awards such as all-conference academic and individuals' recognition. To finish off the next few weeks we will finish our annual spring competion the Purple vs. White games.

Spring Season

This past weekend at beatiful Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium, the girls had two games versus Baylor and a split game between Texas Womens and Tyler JC. Saturday versus Baylor the girls controlled the physical play and maintained possession of the ball; with a Kim Castleberry strike the game ended 1-0 in favor of TCU giving the Horned Frogs their first win over Baylor. Sunday versus Texas Womens and Tyler JC the girls were up against the wall having played the day before. Katy Taylor had a freekick goal from 30 yards out into the top corner, she followed that up by scoring a header off a cornerkick leading the way to a 2-1 win. The next and final spring match is this Saturday versus Texas at noon, Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium.

Good win for the U-20s

The USA U-20's won their first match versus Suriname 4-0 earlier this week. After spending a week here at TCU training in our stadium; the U-20's are off to a great start in their qualifiers. With plenty of DFW Metroplex kids on the roster it is a very fun group to watch and keep up with. We wish the U-20s the best of luck in their next match this Saturday versus Panama.
