Soccer team falls to No. 5 TCU in overtime despite early lead | The Collegian
A pair of come from behind victories for TCU this weekend, who knocked off the entire state of Kansas.
The saying that a 2-0 lead is the most dangerous lead in soccer, unfortunately, held true for the Wildcats.
TCU struck early in the second half, scoring in the forty-sixth minute thanks to the Horned Frogs’ sophomore midfielder Gracie Brian, who connected on a shot right in front of the net to widdle the Wildcats’ lead down to 2-1. Then freshman Olivia Hasler midfielder had her own strike from outside the box for the equalizer at the seventy-seventh minute, sending the game into overtime.
It didn’t take long for TCU to hit the game-winner, as sophomore forward Grace Collins connected on a shot from the left side of the box, sending the Horned Frogs’ bench into a frenzy and handing the Wildcats a heartbreaking defeat.

Sure, establishing the run is a good idea. But the offensive issues go far deeper.
Patterson said something TCU had not been good at through its first three games was protection during running plays. He thought that his team improved last week in that area. However, the Frogs did not run the ball nearly as often as they had in past games.
Against the Sooners, the Frogs ran the ball for just 108 yards with an average of 3.0 yards per attempt. TCU’s rushing yards usually trend much higher than this — 209 yards against Kansas State and 260 yards against the Longhorns.
He said despite having greater protection, the running backs did not run the ball as well as they had in past games, saying if you want to win ball games you have to run the ball well.
