TCU extended its undefeated streak on Thursday after the Horned Frogs defeated Kansas at Garvey Rosenthal Soccer Stadium 1-0. The Frogs commanded the first half, controlling the possessions and taking the initiative. Head coach Eric Bell’s team remained loyal to its style, building up from the back and pressing for the steal. https://twitter.com/TCUSoccer/status/1710094738584645928 The constant pressure was the key to victory for the Frogs. Late in the first half, Zoe Calyer intercepted a pass and passed it to Skylar Heinrich who assisted Gracie Brian. Brian, sprinting past defenders, shot it to the bottom right corner of the net. The graduate student scored her sixth goal of the year and the 32nd of her career and put the Frogs ahead after a well-played first period. “I thought the first half was really, really good,” Bell said. “We controlled the tempo of the game for most of the first half. In the second half, things got a little more hairy as they started to press us and turning it into a bit of a track meet.” The second half was more of the same, but the Jayhawks progressively started pressing and moving downfield. The Frogs had more opportunities, but were not able to score. Even though the Jayhawks improved in the second period, the TCU midfielders limited their chances to score. The Frogs managed to keep the lead and win 1-0. The Frogs are still second according to Big 12 rankings.
