RED RAIDERS AGAINST RANKED NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENTS Texas Tech will look to continue its recent success against ranked non-conference foes Friday against the Golden Bears. The Red Raiders have won each of their last two contests against ranked non-conference opponents after defeating then-No. 11 Notre Dame, 2-1, on Aug. 29 and No. 20 Long Beach State, 3-2, in double overtime on Sept. 14, 2012. The Fighting Irish were the highest-ranked team Tech has ever defeated on the road in school history.

WHO TO WATCH
ALLI MURPHY
5-2 • MF • JR Murphy enters this weekend among the NCAA leaders in assists as she has recorded seven through just five matches this year. Murphy, who currently ranks tied for third nationally in total assists, came into her 2014 junior season with seven career assists.
HANNAH DEVINE
5-7 • MF • JR Devine, the reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, leads the Red Raiders with five goals this season, four of which that have come off set pieces. All three of Devine’s goals last weekend against Sam Houston State and Portland State came off Alli Murphy corner kicks.
JANINE BECKIE
5-8 • F • JR Texas Tech will look for Beckie on the attack against Cal as the junior is among the alltime leading goal scorers in school history with 28 in just over two seasons. Beckie, a Hermann Trophy candidate, needs one more goal to move into third place in the Texas Tech career record book.
JAELENE HINKLE 5-4 • D • SR Hinkle, another MAC Hermann Trophy candidate, will lead a Texas Tech back line that will look to silence a Cal attack that is averaging just over three goals per match in six contests this year. Tech has allowed only three goals this season while recording a pair of shutouts.

2014 TEXAS TECH SOCCER TEXAS TECH IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS Texas Tech received its highest ranking in school history Tuesday as the Red Raiders moved up three spots to No. 7 nationally in both the NSCAA/Continental Tire and Soccer America polls. The Red Raiders, off to a 5-0 start for the fourth time in school history, are the highest-ranked team in the Big 12 Conference as well as among schools located in the state of Texas. The ranking is Tech’s highest all-time in the NSCAA poll, breaking the previous mark of 10th from a week ago. In addition to its No. 7 ranking by the NSCAA and Soccer America, the Red Raiders were also slotted 8th in the Top Drawer Soccer poll. Tech is one of four Big 12 schools ranked in the NSCAA poll, joining No. 15 Oklahoma, No. 20 Kansas and No. 22 West Virginia. This is the 14th-consecutive week where the Red Raiders have appeared in the poll dating back to the 2013 season. INSIDE THE CAL SERIES Friday will be the first ever meeting between Texas Tech and California on the soccer pitch. The Golden Bears are one of five first-time opponents for the Red Raiders this season, joining Eastern Michigan (Aug. 31), Abilene Christian (Sept. 14), Memphis (Sept. 21) and UC Riverside (Sept. 28). INSIDE THE ABILENE CHRISTIAN SERIES Despite being separated by less than 200 miles, Sunday will be the first time Texas Tech and Abilene Christian have ever met during the regular season. The two schools have regularly competed against each other during the spring exhibition season. Abilene Christian is in its second season in Division-I, playing in the Southland Conference. TEXAS TECH TIDBITS... • Texas Tech and Cal are two of just 22 Division-I soccer programs to boast a perfect record through the first three weekends of the season. • Texas Tech is one of two Big 12 Conference teams with a perfect record so far, joining Kansas which is 6-0 already this year heading into its Friday night contest against Cal State Northridge. • The Red Raiders are one of two schools from the state of Texas with a perfect record this season as North Texas is also 5-0 on the year heading into a Friday night match at No. 15 Oklahoma. • A victory over Cal would improve the Red Raiders to 6-0 on the season, matching the best start in school history from 1995 which was only the second year of the program’s existence. • Texas Tech opened the season with a 5-0 start for the fourth time in school history and the third time under head coach Tom Stone. The Red Raiders previously started the year 5-0 in 1995, 2010 and 2012. • A win over Cal would also mark Texas Tech’s second victory over a ranked opponent this season. Dating back to 2002, the Red Raiders have never topped more than one top-25 team in a season. • The Cal match will be the first time in school history where the Red Raiders have faced an opponent in a battle between top-15 teams. The Red Raiders were previously ranked No. 16 in the NSCAA poll earlier this season when Tech topped then-No. 11 Notre Dame, 2-1. • Friday afternoon’s match at Cal will mark the sixth time Texas Tech has faced a Pac-12 Conference opponent under Tom Stone. The Red Raiders are previously 3-1-1 in those matches, all of which that have come against either Arizona or Arizona State. • This will be Texas Tech’s first trip to the state of California since the 2012 season when the Red Raiders participated in the Cal State Fullerton Under Armour Invitational, defeating No. 20 Long Beach State, 3-2, in double overtime and then the host Titans, 2-1. RED RAIDERS FACE FORMER HEAD COACH IN MCGUIRE Texas Tech will face its former head coach on Friday in Cal’s Neil McGuire, who led the Red Raiders from 200506 before moving to Berkeley. McGuire inherited a Tech program that totaled only three wins the year before his arrival and doubled that total just two years later. The Red Raiders wrapped McGuire’s final season in 2006 with a 7-11-2 record, their most victories in a season at the time since 1999. McGuire finished his Tech tenure with a 8-29-2 overall record. DEVINE NAMED BIG 12 OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Texas Tech junior midfielder Hannah Devine was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday following her three goal performance last weekend in wins over Sam Houston State and Portland State. This is the first weekly honor of Devine’s career and the first for a Red Raider this season. Tech had not previously garnered Offensive Player of the Week honors since Oct. 29 last year when Janine Beckie received the accolade. Devine was crucial in keeping the Red Raiders undefeated, scoring a pair of goals in a 3-1 victory over Sam Houston State before nailing the lone goal in a 1-0 double-overtime win over Portland State. MURPHY AMONG NCAA LEADERS IN ASSISTS Alli Murphy enters this weekend among the national leaders for assists after posting seven already through just five matches. Murphy is averaging 1.4 assists per match currently, which ranks second nationally just behind the 2.0 average from Yale’s Frannie Coxe. The Plano, Texas native is tied for third in the country in total assists as well, trailing only Jasmin Dutton and Sarah Zadrzil from East Tennessee who both have eight assists this year. Murphy is tied for sixth all-time already in the Tech single-season record book as she is just four assists shy of Taylor Lytle’s school record of 11 from the 2009 season. IT’S BEEN A YEAR The beginning of September marked the passing of a full calendar year without the Red Raiders losing a regular-season match. Texas Tech last lost during the regular season on Sept. 1 last year when Long Beach State scored a last-second goal to shock the No. 23 Red Raiders, 3-2, at the John Walker Soccer Complex. Since that night, the Red Raiders are 17-0-2 in regular season matches thanks in part to an 11-match winning streak against non-conference foes. The 19-match unbeaten streak in regular season matches is the longest in school history.

BECKIE TIES SCHOOL RECORD FOR CAREER GAME-WINNING GOALS Janine Beckie’s goal against Notre Dame tied the Texas Tech career record for game-winners as it was her 11th in just two-plus seasons as a Red Raider. Beckie tied the previous school record set by Kristi Patterson from 1994-96 and former teammate Jessica Fuston from 2010-13. The Highlands Park, Colorado native also moved into a tie for third all-time on the career goals list with Amy Rustein, who totaled 28 goals during her career from 1995-98. STRAHAN COMES IN CLUTCH WHEN NEEDED During her four seasons as a Red Raider, Paige Strahan has found a way to be at the right place at the right time. That habit occurred once again on Aug. 31 when she tapped in the game-winning goal in Texas Tech’s 2-1 overtime victory over Eastern Washington. It was the 13th goal of Strahan’s career and seventh that went for a game-winner. Her seven career game-winning goals now rank fourth all-time at Texas Tech. THE HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE The John Walker Soccer Complex has become quite the home-field advantage for the Red Raiders the past few seasons. Texas Tech, behind its normal raucous crowd, is an impressive 22-2 since 2012 at home with victories over in-state rival Texas and Big 12 regular season champion West Virginia during that stretch. The Red Raiders snapped the single-season school record with 10 home victories in 2013, breaking the previous mark of nine set just the year before. RED RAIDERS OPEN 2014 WITH 5-0 ROUT OF ORAL ROBERTS Texas Tech opened its season with a victory for the seventh-straight year on Aug. 24 with a 5-0 rout over Oral Roberts at the John Walker Soccer Complex. Five different Red Raiders scored in the rout, beginning with Megan McCullough in just the eighth minute. Janine Beckie (12th minute) and Hannah Devine (21st minute) both added first-half goals to give Tech a 3-0 lead at the half before Caity Heap and Cassie Conarty connected on goals of their own over the final 45 minutes. The shutout victory was Tech’s sixth in its last seven season openers as the Red Raiders out-scoring opponents by an impressive 21-1 margin during that stretch. The 5-0 rout also matched the largest margin of victory for Tech all-time in a season opener. MURPHY SETS TEXAS TECH ASSISTS RECORD IN SEASON OPENER Alli Murphy etched her name into the Texas Tech record book in the season-opening rout of Oral Roberts where the junior midfielder dished out a single-match record four assists. Murphy contributed to Tech’s final four goals in its 5-0 victory as she found four different Red Raiders for goals. Her four assists broke the previous Tech single-match record of three that was set by former Red Raider great Taylor Lytle on Sept. 4, 2009, at TCU. Murphy, despite just playing one match during the first weekend of the season, ended the week as the Big 12 leader for assists and among the conference leaders for points. MCCULLOUGH, CONARTY CONNECT ON FIRST CAREER GOALS AGAINST ORU The Oral Roberts victory was a special one for sophomore defender Meaghan McCullough and freshman defender Cassie Conarty who both scored their first career goal in the rout. McCullough connected on the first of five goals for the Red Raiders, taking a failed clear attempt by Oral Roberts and firing a liner from 24 yards out that sailed up and over ORU goalkeeper Maddie Rhodes. Conarty, meanwhile, added Tech’s final goal as she knocked in an Alli Murphy corner kick in the 7th minute. She was the first Red Raider freshman to score in a season opener since Janine Beckie did so in 2012 against Idaho. WATSON GARNERS FIRST CAREER START, SHUTOUT AGAINST ORAL ROBERTS Texas Tech sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Watson earned her first career start in front of the net against Oral Roberts where she played all 90 minutes in the 5-0 victory. The shutout was the first in Watson’s career as she collected two saves in the rout. Watson joined former Tech goalkeeper Victoria Esson (2011-13) as the only Red Raiders to record a full, 90-minute shutout in their first career start during the Tom Stone era (2007-present). FEARLESS FANS PACK JOHN WALKER SOCCER COMPLEX FOR SEASON OPENER Since the John Walker Complex opened in 2008, large crowds have become quite normal as Texas Tech has averaged roughly 1,000 fans each of the past four seasons. That statement was true again this past Sunday when 1,811 fans - the third largest crowd in John Walker Soccer Complex - watched the Red Raiders hand Oral Roberts a 5-0 season-opening loss. It was the largest crowd to ever watch a Texas Tech season opener, breaking the previous mark of 1,584 in 2013 when the Red Raiders hosted Colorado State. HOME OPENER ATTENDANCE (LAST FOUR SEASONS) Year Opponent Attendance 2014 Oral Roberts 1,811 2013 Colorado State 1,584 2012 Idaho 1,117 2011 Rice 1,215 2010 TCU 1,356 BECKIE, HINKLE NAMED TO MAC HERMANN TROPHY WATCH LIST Janine Beckie and Jaelene Hinkle received the highest preseason honor in college soccer earlier this summer when the two Red Raiders were named to the MAC Hermann Trophy watch list. Tech was one of just six programs nationally with multiple players on the watch list that totaled 35 women’s players overall, three of which that came from the Big 12 Conference. This is the second-straight season where Beckie has been named to the watch list. Hinkle, meanwhile, is a candidate for the first time in her career. The 2014 MAC Hermann Trophy, which is presented annually to the top player in the country, will be presented Jan. 9 at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.

2014 TEXAS TECH SOCCER RED RAIDERS LEAD THE BIG 12 FOR VICTORIES OVER LAST TWO SEASONS Winning has pretty much become contagious for the Red Raiders the past two seasons under Tom Stone. During that stretch, Texas Tech has recorded 34 victories and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship in both seasons. This is the winningest stretch for the Red Raiders in school history as Tech won 16 matches in 2012 and then followed up with a school-record 18 victories a year ago. That success has made Tech the winningest Big 12 program the past two seasons as the Red Raiders lead all league opponents in victories as Baylor has recorded 30 wins while West Virginia has combined for 27 in third place.

This is the second-straight season where the Red Raiders have been slotted in second place by the conference coaches. Tech followed through with its 2013 preseason prediction as the Red Raiders finished 6-0-2 in Big 12 play, ending the year a point back of preseason favorite West Virginia for the Big 12 regular season title.

Underclassmen contributed most of that scoring as 35 of Tech’s 48 goals came from freshmen or sophomores. Janine Beckie led all Red Raiders with 12 goals which ranked among the Big 12 leaders at the conclusion of the year. She was followed by fellow sophomores Alli Murphy and Briana Rohmer who connected on five goals each as well as Caity Heap who was tied for fourth on the team with four goals. RED RAIDERS RETURNERS BY THE NUMBERS Texas Tech returns the bulk of its roster from a year ago, including its top scorers in Janine Beckie, Alli Murphy, Caity Heap and Briana Rohmer.

Hinkle, who has received numerous preseason accolades this summer, was a unanimous selection to the team for the second-straight season after leading the Red Raiders with a team-high six assists a year ago. She and Beckie were both preseason All-Big 12 selections a year ago as well before eventually earning All-Big 12 first team honors at the end of the year. HINKLE RATED NO. 9 PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY BY TOP DRAWER SOCCER Jaelene Hinkle was rated as the ninth-best player in the country prior to the season by the soccer website TopDrawerSoccer.com. Hinkle, who was also honored on Soccer America’s Preseason All-America squad, was the third-highest ranked defender on Top Drawer’s list of the top-100 players in the country. Tech was one of just 10 programs nationally and the only one from the Big 12 Conference to have two players ranked in the top 50 as Janine Beckie also made the list at No. 44 overall. DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE While the Red Raiders have become known for their offense the past several years, it was their effort on the defensive end last season that boosted the Red Raiders to an 18-2-3 season and another trip to the NCAA

Tournament. The Red Raiders posted a school-record 17 shutouts in 2013, ranking second nationally for shutout percentage and third for goals-against average after allowing only nine goals all season. Tech shut out 17 of its 23 opponents on the year for a .739 shutout percentage. Tech’s nine goals allowed matched the Big 12 record for fewest in a season that previously belonged to Oklahoma State from 2011. BECKIE SHINES AT FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Janine Beckie made what she described as a “trip of a lifetime” this past summer. Beckie, arguably one of the top forwards in the collegiate game, shined on the international stage as she helped lead Canada to the quarterfinals of the FIFA U-20 World Cup behind a pair of goals in the pool play stage. Beckie led all Canada players with two goals in the tournament, the first coming in a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Finland that all but kept Canada’s chances of advancing alive. She also provided the game-winning assist in the Finland victory. Beckie provided the game-winning goal herself in her next outing, a 1-0 victory over North Korea that advanced Canada past the pool play round and into the knockout stage. Germany ended Canada’s tournament run in the quarterfinals, though, with a 2-0 victory. Beckie was able to play in front of several friends and family throughout the tournament as Canada was the host country for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. WATSON LOOKS FOR FIRST CAREER START IN GOAL Following the departure of Victoria Esson due to graduation, Tom Stone knew he would have big shoes to fill in goal, especially after Esson recorded a banner year as a senior when Tech ranked second nationally in shutout percentage and third for goals-against average. Sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Watson will likely get the first opportunity to continue that defensive dominance Sunday evening when it is expected she will earn the start in goal against Oral Roberts. Watson played in all 90 minutes last weekend when Tech defeated No. 25 Denver, 2-1, in its lone exhibition match of the preseason. She played in two matches last season after redshirting the 2012 season. STRAHAN GOES FROM FRESHMAN WALK-ON TO SENIOR CAPTAIN When Paige Strahan began preseason practice as a freshman in 2011, she was a walk-on out of Odessa Permian High School who was looking to not just make the team but instead earn a starting spot right away. Strahan, a relatively unknown at the time, earned that start in the 2011 season opener against Rice. Since then, she has been a regular on the field for the Red Raiders, totaling 12 goals and seven assists during that span. Her efforts were rewarded prior to this season as she and fellow senior Jaelene Hinkle were elected captains, a high honor for a Red Raider playing under Tom Stone. NARVAIZ RETURNS FROM KNEE INJURY Lubbock native Taylor Narvaiz will return to the field this fall after missing the entire 2013 season due to a preseason knee injury. Narvaiz, who redshirted the 2013 season, will have two years of eligibility remaining. She combined to play 36 matches while making 18 starts during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, giving Tech a strong option on the back line. TEXAS TECH, WEST VIRGINIA SELECTED TO APPEAR ON NSCAATV Texas Tech’s match at West Virginia on Oct. 10 was selected this summer to appear on NSCAATV.com, marking one of just five women’s contests nationally to be selected by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and the only one to feature a pair of Big 12 programs. This is the third time in the past four seasons where the NSCAA has selected a Texas Tech match for its television schedule. The Red Raiders previously faced Oklahoma State during both the 2011 and 2012 seasons as the NSCAA Game of the Week. RED RAIDERS WELCOME NINE NEWCOMERS TO 2014 ROSTER Texas Tech welcomed nine newcomers to its roster this fall, another talented recruiting class from Tom Stone, who has landed several of the nation’s top recruits in recent years. The class of newcomers features eight freshmen and one transfer in Makenzie Kahan, who arrives at Tech as a junior following two seasons at Oklahoma State. Several freshmen are expected to contribute right away, notably Sara Summers, a native of University Park, Texas, who was a consistent scoring threat during preseason practices. The true freshmen class also includes goalkeepers Carissa Christensen and Marissa Torres, forwards Natalie Schmutz and Alex Marmureanu, midfielder Haleigh Fancher as well as defenders Rebekah O’Brien and Cassie Conarty. TEXAS TECH TOPS NO. 25 DENVER IN LONE EXHIBITION MATCH No. 17 Texas Tech overcame an early first-half deficit with goals from Paige Strahan and Alli Murphy on Aug. 16 to top No. 25 Denver, 2-1, in the lone exhibition match of the preseason. The victory marked the second-straight year where the Red Raiders have defeated a talented Denver squad in preseason action. Denver got on the board first in just the third minute, but Tech responded shortly after with Strahan finding the back of the net in the 18th minute. Tech had to wait until midway through the second half for Murphy to connect on the game-winner in the 71st minute of play. Denver wrapped the 2013 season with 18 victories en route to advancing to the NCAA Tournament.
