Tech soccer begins postseason play Monday night
The Red Raiders will look to advance into the semifinals with a victory
LUBBOCK, Texas â The No. 2 seeded Texas Tech (12-2-4) soccer team will take on No. 7 seeded UCF (11-4-2) this upcoming Monday night at 5:30 p.m. to kick off the Big 12 Tournament at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium.
Tech finished second in the Big 12 regular season standings as it dropped a 3-2 contest at Kansas Thursday night. The winner of this match will go on to take on the winner of match four, which is No. 3 Baylor and No. 6 Houston. The entire Big 12 Tournament Bracket can be viewed HERE.
 All-Big 12 Awards Earlier this afternoon, the Big 12 released its All-Big awards as Taylor Zdrojewski took home Forward of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Meanwhile, Addie Todd was named the Goalkeeper of the Year. Kylie Bahr and Eleanor Hays joined the duo on the All-Big 12 First Team as Raleigh Greason landed a spot on the Second Team.
Lauren Alvarez rounded out the Tech honorees with a spot on the All-Freshman Team.
Last Time Out The Red Raiders closed out the regular season at Kansas Thursday night, falling to the Jayhawks, 3-2. A win would've given Tech the outright regular season title and the No. 1 seed this upcoming week. Taylor Zdrojewski scored her conference-leading 13th goal as Alana Harry netted her first of the season. Kaitlyn Giametta registered both assists.
Rankings The Red Raiders were ranked No. 5 in the TopDrawerSoccer.com poll and came in at No. 7 in the USC/IWSOC rankings. The TopDrawerSoccer.com poll will release its new rankings Monday, while the USC/IWSOC poll comes out Tuesday afternoon.
Inside The Matchup Tech will be meeting UCF for the fifth time ever and will be in search of its first win against the Knights. The last three matches have all ended in a tie as both teams met earlier this year in Orlando that saw the game end in a 2-2 draw.
Up Next A win would send Tech into the semifinals against either Baylor or Houston. The match would take place Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
