TCU Falls to Alabama in 3‑2 Thriller

Emma Yolinsky’s brace and early pressure not enough as penalty and own goal decide the match

The 15th‑ranked TCU Horned Frogs traveled to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where they faced the 18th‑ranked Crimson Tide in a tightly contested 3‑2 defeat.

Match Highlights

Emma Yolinsky opened the scoring in the 14th minute and added a second goal in the 47th, giving TCU a fighting chance that ultimately fell short.

Alabama struck first with a penalty kick in the seventh minute, and the Horned Frogs’ own error in the 16th minute handed the Tide an early cushion.

Despite TCU controlling possession for 53 percent of the contest and out‑taking Alabama 15‑9 in total shots, the Tide’s 6‑4 advantage on shots on goal and a solid defensive showing limited the Horned Frogs’ opportunities.

Olivia Geller made four crucial saves for TCU, while the team earned a modest 6‑5 edge on corner kicks but could not convert any of those chances in the closing stages.
