GoFrogs: Soccer falls to Arizona despite Ryan's pair of goals
TUCSON, Ariz. – Yazmeen Ryan netted a pair of goals late in the game for TCU but it wasn't enough to overcome a three-goal second half for Arizona in a 4-3 loss on Saturday night. Also tallying for the Horned Frogs was Grace Collins in the first half.
The Rundown
Arizona struck for the game's first tally just 1:22 into the contest. Brooke Wilson found herself with some space and time. She fired in a shot from about 20 yards to put the Wildcats in front 1-0.
Ten minutes later, the Frogs had their answer off the foot of Grace Collins. A foul set up a free kick for the Horned Frogs. Maddy Warren got control of the ball and sent a through ball right to Collins and she fired it in from distance to tie the game at one.
In the second half, Arizona benefitted from a red card issued to TCU for illegally touching the ball on the goal line. The Wildcats scored on the ensuing penalty kick to take a 2-1 lead in the 61st minute. Jill Aguilera struck for a pair of goals 26 seconds apart in the 80th minute to extend the Wildcats lead to three, 4-1.
TCU didn't go quietly as the Frogs pulled within one, 4-3, with three minutes to go. Yazmeen Ryan started the Frogs comeback as she scored on a free kick from 25 yards out to make it 4-2. Just over three minutes later, Ryan and Messiah Bright executed a perfect give-and-go and Ryan tallied again to make it a one-goal game.
Stat of the Game
2 – Yazmeen Ryan scored a pair of goals, her third and fourth tallies of the season, to bring her career total to 13. It was the first multi-goal effort of her career.
Quotes of the Game

Overall thoughts
"Obviously we didn't start the way we wanted to, giving up the early goal. But we were able to get the goal back quickly on Grace's (Collins) shot. Then, I thought it was a relatively equal game. Sure they had 17 shots, but they were not super dangerous shots.
"In the second half, I thought it played the same as the first up until we got the red card. I think we felt sorry for ourselves at the time being down a player and going down on the PK. But then we started to figure it out and started fighting. We changed our shape and put Yazmeen (Ryan) and Messiah (Bright) up top and they were handful. We got two back to make it a game. In spite of the circumstance, we gave ourselves a chance. We need to do better at the beginning, but for the most part we were there with them all game."
