INSIDE THE MATCHUP:
MATCHUP: No. 8/12 Texas Tech (9-0-4, 5-0-1 Big 12) at No. 22 BYU (8-3-2, 4-1-1 Big 12)
DATE: Friday Oct. 16, 2026
TIME: ย 8 p.m. (CT)/7 p.m. (MT)
LOCATION: ย Provo, Utah (South Field)
BY THE NUMBERS:
54: One of the best and most consistent programs in the country the last four seasons, Tech enters the seventh week of the 2026 season sitting at 54-9-16 (.805) over the programs last 77 matches (since the start of the 2023 season). Only three schools nationally have more wins than Tech over that span: Stanford (63), Florida State (58), North Carolina (56). Tech leads the Big 12 over that span.
33: Over the past four conference seasons (2022-26), Tech leadsย the Big 12 Conference in total wins (33), notching four more wins than third-place WVU (29) and three more than TCU (30). The Red Raiders are 33-3-11 (.833) in Big 12 play over that span (47 matches) and are the only team in the Big 12 with three straight seven-plus win seasons. Tech's three losses in league play are also the fewest in the league, sixย clear of TCUs nine losses. Only one school in the country has more wins: Michigan State (35).
ย
2+: While putting the ball in the back of the net is the name of the game, scoring twice has been critical for the Red Raiders success as since the start of the 2022 season, the Red Raiders are now 54-0-2 when scoring two goals. When you expand that mark out to the beginning of the 2021 season, Tech is 63-2-2 when scoring twice in a match.
ย
LAST TIME OUT:
Kylie Bahr's right-footed moment of brilliance combined with a stifling defense effort powered No. 12/14 Texas Tech past TCU 1-0.
With the victory, Texas Tech (9-0-4, 5-0-1 Big 12) closed out its fifth straight-win and seventh in its last eight contests (7-0-1). The Red Raiders were victorious in Ft. Worth for the first time since 2014 and ran their unbeaten streak against TCU to five-straight matches (2-0-3).
The Red Raiders also have also allowed just one total goal in their last five Big 12 contests and are a league-best +10 in the goal differential (12-3).
In her eighth clean sheet of the season, Tech GK Addie Todd made two stops to lower her goals-against-average to 0.46 and bring her save percentage to a Big 12 best .885.
Todd's eight clean sheets tie her with Stephanie Carter (1995) and Madison White (2021) for the eighth-most in a single season in program history.
Sunday's victory also extends a trio of streaks for the Red Raiders who ran their unbeaten streak to 18-straight (11-0-7) contests overall and their in-state unbeaten streak to 22-straight (17-0-5). Only UNCW (23) have a longer unbeaten streak nationally.
The Red Raiders also have not lost in 31-straight contests when scoring (24-0-7) and are 75-4-16 (.874) in their last 95 instances when scoring once.
After a strong first half that featured four quality chances including a Bahr header that was cleared off the line by TCUs backline for a team save at the death of the first half, it didn't take long for Bahr to find her revenge, as the defender buried a right-footed rocket just two minutes and 12 seconds into half two for her second career goal.
The strike came off a strong freekick service from the center circle by Eleanor Hays and a picture-perfect midbox header from Taylor Zdrojewski.
Hays who scored and tallied an assist on Thursday night in Stillwater, recorded her fourth assist this season, while Bahr brought her point total to three for the week after tallying her fifth assist on the season on the opening goal at OSU.
Armed with the 1-0 lead, the Red Raider backline held the Horned Frogs to just three second half shots and six for the contest.
