LUBBOCK, Texas - "We just played the University of Tulsa and lost 2-1 at home. We thought we played pretty well and had some chances to win that game. Unfortunately we hit the goalposts a couple of times and didn't finish our chances. This week we play the University of Texas on Sunday and Texas A&M on Friday. Those contests are away."

"I think [the players] have [gotten frustrated]. The only way to correct that is to continue to work on it during practice and before practice. They're also frustrated because of our record and because we have been in so many close contests. We've had so many one-goal games that it's difficult to continue to get up for these games."

"The University of Texas is a much-improved team. They had a great recruiting class and the record shows it. Texas A&M is always a Top 20 program. It's going to be a difficult road trip and hopefully we'll come away with two wins."
