The team managed to head into the locker room with the score still level at 0-0.
TCU managed to record five total shots in the second frame of action.
Texas scored their goal in the 68th minute on a strike by Ava McDonald that gave the Longhorns a 1-0 advantage.

The Frogs were unable to find the game-tying score in the final five minutes and the match ended with Texas leading 1-0.
Geller played all 90 minutes tonight in which she recorded her eight saves.
