Closing It Out In Style
The match against the Lobos on Saturday will mark the final home game for Chelsea Cody, Cheryl Martin, Jackie Torda, Kelsey Walters andNikki Wilbur. The five seniors have combined to win 38 games and have played in three-straight conference tournaments.

In total, the group has netted 32 goals combined during their four years in Fort Worth.
Senior Night Success
TCU will look to continue an impressive streak on Saturday night under head coach Dan Abdalla. The Frogs are 2-2-1 under Abdalla on senior night, including 2-1-1 the last four seasons. In its last four outings, TCU has outscored its opponent, 6-5, on senior night at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. In two of their five final home games, the Frogs have shut out their opponent, including a 3-0 shutout of then No. 22 Utah in 2007.
The Series Breakdown
TCU and New Mexico will battle on Saturday night for the 11th time in program history. The Lobos lead the all-time series 6-3-1, but the Frogs have won two out of the last three meetings between the two Mountain West Conference foes. In 2008, TCU dominated the contest in Fort Worth, downing the Lobos 3-1 at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. Last fall, TCU totaled 17 shot attempts, but dropped a 1-0 decision to New Mexico at the UNM Soccer Complex.
