Seeing Scarlet Podcast

No. 14 Texas Tech soccer answered an early deficit with a 2-1 win over No. 16 West Virginia, keeping the Red Raiders tied atop the Big 12 standings. We break down the "comeback", hear from Tom Stone and Kylie Bahr, and look ahead to Sunday’s road matchup at Utah.

**reminder if listening to audio version we will be breaking down highlights during this episode, for full experience find the show on YouTube.**

Bahr delivered on her first career penalty kick, Taylor Zdrojewski’s game-winner moved her into a tie for fourth in program history with 37 career goals, and Gianna Gregoire put together the best performance of her young career. We discuss the adjustments behind Tech’s dominant second half, the creative trio Stone calls his “hands team,” and the conference title race heading into the final three matches.

Then, it’s a Texas Tech football preview as the Red Raiders head to Cincinnati looking to reach 7-0. We break down the Bearcats’ rushing attack, the challenge for Tech’s run defense, Will Hammond’s opportunities in the passing game, and Joey McGuire’s message about handling the noise on the road.
