After recording 13 total shutouts in 23 matches in 2023, the Red Raiders followed it up with 12 shutouts in 22 matches in 2024. The Red Raiders are 32-2-6 the last two seasons when allowing a goal or fewer (losses to UT 1-0 in 2023 and to UNC 1-0 in 2023). Tech was 15-0-2 last season when allowing a goal or fewer.

When you expand that mark out to the beginning of the 2021 season, Tech is 46-2-1 when scoring twice in a match.
19: Texas Tech forward Peyton Parsons was credited with a goal just 19 seconds into Thursday's match at Santa Clara. The goal is the second-fastest goal in recorded (1999) program history trailing just a 12 second strike by Brittney Harrison in the 2008 season against Alabama A&M.
QUICK KICKS:
• Fresh off an exciting 2-1 victory over RV Santa Clara, No. 18 Texas Tech returns to the pitch on Sunday afternoon for a clash with another WCC foe in San Francisco. The match will mark the end of a three-match California swing for the Red Raiders who opened the 2025 season at San Diego State.
• Unfazed by the road the last three seasons the Red Raiders are 10-4-4 overall on the road (including the NCAA Tournament loss at No. 1 Duke last season and the 2023 Big 12 Semifinal loss at Texas) and are 10-2-4 in the regular season on the road since the start of the 2023 season.
• The Red Raiders will put a six-match winning streak and a seven-match unbeaten streak on the line. Tech's six-match road winning streak started after a draw at TCU to open Big 12 play last Sept. 12, while the road unbeaten streak spans nearly a calendar year after a 2-0 loss to Utah State last Aug. 25.
• The Red Raiders two road matches this weekend continues a stretch of a three of the first four contests away from Walker and a span of four of six on the road including road contests against New Mexico State (Sept. 4). The Red Raiders play just three of their first eight contests at home (SMU on Aug. 28 and Utah State on Sept. 14).
• Sitting at 3-0-0 for the first time since 2018, the Red Raiders will look to move to 4-0-0 on Sunday with a victory and will look to notch their third road win of the season. The Red Raiders enter play this weekend as one of eight teams in the country that are a perfect 2-0-0 on the road this season.Â
• Of the eight teams around the country that enter the weekend 2-0-0 on the road this season, five play at home (Marquette, UNCW, Illinois, North Dakota and Lindenwood) while TCU is off. Rhode Island is the only other D1 squad this weekend that can get to 3-0-0 on the road this weekend as the Rams will make the short trip across I-95 (30 miles) to face in-state rival Brown.
• Tennessee who plays Saturday night at LMU, has the chance to join the teams listed above at 2-0-0 on the road with a win. After scoring twice in the first three minutes and 35 seconds of Thursday's match, the Red Raiders recorded the third-straight match with a pair of goals in a five-minute span. After scoring 45 seconds into the eighth minute on Sunday, Tech scored two seconds into the 11th minute in the win over YSU. That streak also includes goals in the fourth and seventh minutes in the win against SDSU last Thursday.
UP NEXT:
The Red Raiders return home on Thursday night when they welcome ACC foe SMU for the annual Code Red match. First touch is set for 7 p.m.
