No. 23/19 Tech downs Hawaii 1-0 in season opener
Senior Storie Sexton slotted home a 43rd-minute goal to propel No. 23/19 Texas Tech to a 1-0 win at Hawaii Thursday afternoon at the Lower Campus Stadium.
After an early surge that nearly saw Texas Tech (1-0) take a 1-0 lead on a Raliegh Greason shot, Sexton struck with just two minutes and 49 seconds before the break to push Tech to victory.
Greason’s shot was less than 90 seconds into the game.
In her Red Raider debut, Addie Todd made two saves, none bigger than her 83rd minute stop on Hawaii’s (0-1) Tatum Porter to preserve the clean sheet.
Despite being outshot 9-7, Tech did win the shot-on-goal battle, as the Red Raiders placed their first five shots on goal. That total included a 36th minute chance by sixth-year senior Kaitlyn Giametta who nearly scored in her return to the lineup.
UP NEXT:
The Red Raiders will look to leave the Island of the Oahu 2-0 on Sunday afternoon against Seattle U. First touch is set for 6 p.m. (CT)/1 p.m. (HST).
