Final Stats

LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech women's soccer team halted its six game losing streak Wednesday night by defeating West Texas A&M 1-0 at R.P. Fuller Stadium.

Tech (3-9, 0-4) got on the board in the 31st minute on Lindsey Wile's first goal of the season. The goal was set up when Rachel Mavris' free kick from 45 yards out was blocked by the West Texas keeper to the feet of Wile, who controlled the ball and deposited it into the near corner.

The Lady Buffs (8-3, 2-0) were led by Kathy Clutterbuck who recorded four shots in the game with two on goal. Keeper Jamie Griffis entered the game having not allowed a goal in the last two games, but was unable to shut down the Red Raider attack as she stopped seven of 16 Red Raider shots.

"Brittney played well and that was good to see," commented Tech coach Felix Oskam on the play of keeper Brittney Peese after posting her 10th career shutout and first of the season.

In the game sophomore Catie Arsenault went down hard after a collision in the first half, and had to be helped off the field. She was diagnosed with a sprained left knee and is out indefinitely. Freshman Jordan Wicker returned to action for the first time since separating her shoulder in the first game of the season.

Tech returns to conference action on Friday night when it hosts Kansas. The Jayhawks are 7-3 overall and 3-1 in the Big 12 conference.
