“Those types of games are gut-wrenching,” Texas head coach Angela Kelly said. “I thought we did some good things and we created enough opportunities, so it’s just going to be a tough one to swallow.”
With only three games left of Big 12 conference play, the Longhorns are showing positive signs after a rocky start to the season. Last Friday’s 2-1 road victory against Baylor improved the team’s conference record to 4–2, enough for second place in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma State.
Head coach Angela Kelly took time Monday to reflect on the match against the Baylor Bears and compliment her team for the strides that have been made throughout Texas’ turbulent season.
After two consecutive conference losses, Texas regained its footing in the Big 12 race with a 2-1 win on the road against Baylor. The Longhorns now sit in second place in the conference with a record of 4–2.
Following the heartbreaking double-overtime loss to West Virginia and a disappointing loss against the No. 18 Oklahoma State Cowgirls, the pressure is on to perform well against Baylor.
Texas fans were looking for the opportunity to see the Longhorns pick up another crucial Big 12 conference win, but left Mike A. Myers Stadium disappointed as Oklahoma State walked away with a 2-0 victory.
Overtime losses are disappointing for any team. Double overtime losses hurt a little bit more. Texas soccer has had to cope with the latter after losing to West Virginia last Sunday.
After a nail-biting bout to the finish with TCU, the Longhorns prevailed 1-0, and now Texas soccer is the lone undefeated and untied team in the Big 12, sitting in first place with a conference record of 3–0.
