On the Pitch

Texas Tech defeated RV Santa Clara 2-1 last night. A Payton Parsons goal in the first 19 seconds was the initial goal on an RV Santa Clara lapse and Taylor Zdrojewski then scored a few minutes later where she just sort of bullied her way to a goal, creating space and nailing a shot past the goalie who committed way too early. Those are links to the game video, for whatever reason X/Twitter is not letting me embed the video. They will stay in California and play San Francisco on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
