Texas Tech University’s women’s soccer team opened its preseason with a convincing 4‑1 victory over New Mexico University in an exhibition match on Thursday night. The Red Raiders controlled possession and outshot the Lobos 11‑8, converting all five corner attempts while limiting New Mexico to just eight shots on goal.
Four different players found the back of the net, including freshmen Kylie Bahr, Skylar Haase, Raleigh Greason and Diana Gudmundsdottir. Bahr not only scored but also assisted on the first two goals, delivering precise passes that left the opposing defense scrambling. Haase opened the scoring with a perfect header in the first half, and Greason added a second‑half strike after a crisp feed from Bahr.
Freshman Diana Gudmundsdottir capped the offensive outburst with a one‑on‑one finish, while Mattie Neves sealed the result with a late goal less than five minutes remaining. Goalkeeper Addie Todd made four saves, preserving the lead and demonstrating depth in the backline.
Looking Ahead to Hawaii
The win serves as the final tune‑up before the Red Raiders’ regular season opener in Hawaii, scheduled for 9 p.m. CT / 4 p.m. HST. The match will test the early chemistry forged in Texas and provide a early benchmark for the nationally ranked squad as they embark on a demanding schedule.
