FORT WORTH – The TCU women’s soccer team wraps up its non-conference schedule Friday night when they travel to Colorado for a match against Denver. Match time is slated for 8 p.m. TCU has won three straight matches. FOLLOW THE FROGS TCU NOTABLES Vittoria Arnold made seven total saves on the weekend to push her shutout streak to three games and 293 minutes. Arnold’s efforts between the posts garnered her Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors. It’s TCU’s second straight week to be honored with a Player of the Week. The Frogs took 21 shots in Friday’s win over Houston Baptist, but it was on a own goal scored by the Huskies that helped lead the Frogs to victory. The shot that led to goal was initially taken by Rebekah Foreman. Brittany Slyman and Kelly Johnson teamed up for the only goal of the match against North Texas. The Frogs handed the Mean Green their first home loss since the 2010 campaign. Kelly Johnson took four of the Frogs’ nine total shots in the game. With the win at North Texas, TCU improved to 2-0-1 away from home this season. Both victories have come via the shutout.

Katy Van Lieshout’s first half goal against Kansas in Friday’s win stood up as the game-winner. Campbell made five saves in tallying her fourth shutout of the season. Denver is 2-0-0 at home this season with wins over Colorado and UC Irvine. The Pioneers are averaging 4.0 goals per game at home.
