No. 23/19 Tech blows past UNM, 4-1
Texas Tech women's soccer didn't just win their exhibition against New Mexico, they absolutely dominated, dropping four goals past the Lobos at the John Walker Soccer Complex.
After a quiet first 40 minutes, Tech exploded for a goal right before halftime, then immediately again just 27 seconds into the second half, effectively sealing the 4-1 victory. Senior Skylar Haase scored the opener off a picture-perfect cross from Kylie Bahr, who was making her 2026 debut and also assisted the second goal.
This early performance signals serious potential for the season, especially showing an aggressive offense combined with a tight defense that held New Mexico to only eight shots. For folks looking for some top-tier college sports action before football really kicks off, this team looks like a solid bet to watch down on Marsha Sharp Freeway. They look ready to make some noise.
Scoring four goals in a warm-up match, against a respectable opponent, suggests this squad is already in prime form for a competitive season.
