The schedule shows a 2:00PM kick-off at field # 13. I happen to be working the FC Dallas Showcase tournament as a rep for the US Merchant marine Academy's soccer team. I'll be evaluating players for the Academy. Should be able to catch at least part of the action. GO MEAN GREEN!!!!! Beat TCU!!!!!!

I may actually be able to make it out for this game. I really wish they could have played inside the big stadium though...that would have been cool.

UNT beat TCU 1-0 in front of a really large crowd at Pizza Hut Park. Lots of youth teams walked over from their respective fields to watch the match. Both schools heavily recruit the metroplex, so it's a nice spring "bragging rights" victory.

In the first half UNT had a 20 mph wind at their back and scored early (about 5 min into the game), when Kelsey Perlman knocked in a loose ball in front of the net. UNT controlled play in the wind aided first half. In the second half, play was much more balanced with TCU having more shots on goal (majority of them from 30 yards out) and a few more corner kicks. Our defense played really well and goal keeper Haley Newsom made a couple nice saves to preserve win. Overall the girls looked in great form and continue to play well in the spring.
