6 DENVER 0-2 [19] TEXAS TECH (AUGUST 13, 2016) DENVER DROPS 2-0 FALL EXHIBITION TO [19] TEXAS TECH DENVER - The University of Denver women s soccer team hosted Texas Tech in the Pioneers lone exhibition of the 2016 campaign on Saturday night at CIBER Field at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium, a match that saw the visitors score twice in the first half and take a 2-0 preseason victory back home. I really liked our first five or six minutes coming out to start the match, Hooker said. I thought we did a great job of moving without the ball and keeping the ball. They play a formation that s tough to defend against, especially without being able to look at it on film. I didn t think we defended very well in the first half, and their system played a role in that. Jade King s brace provided the only two goals of the match on Saturday night for Texas Tech, as the freshman scored twice in the seventh and 12th minutes to give the Red Raiders the exhibition result. King took advantage of a misplay in the back and beat senior goalkeeper Cassidy Rey (Arcadia, Calif.) one-on-one from 12 yards out for the opener. The freshman s 12th minute strike to double the advantage came off a well-timed through ball from Mary Heiberger to setup a calm finish into the bottom left corner. We shored some things up in the second half, and I thought we played a lot better on that end of the field, Hooker said. We didn t allow them to create the number of chances that they created in the first half, and we were able to develop some chances of our own. We did a much better job of getting the ball from one side of the field to the other in the second half. We had a couple of one-on-ones and a couple of corner kicks that we would have liked to do more with, but didn t. Overall, I m pleased with how we played in the second 45. Freshman Hannah Adler (Oak Park, Calif.) provided the best chance in the match for the Pioneers in the 83rd minute, firing from just outside the area. Adler s shot would have tucked just under the crossbar, but TTU goalkeeper Lauren Watson made her second of two saves on the evening to keep the clean sheet. Freshman goalkeeper Brittany Wilson (Littleton, Colo.) played the second 45 minutes in net for the Pioneers on Saturday night. Wilson commanded her box, but was not forced to make a save. I thought our individual defending was poor today, and we ll definitely be working on that here in the next couple days before the season starts on Friday, Hooker said. We tried to win balls in spots where we didn t need to and we didn t recover very well when we did get beat. I think looking at the film, especially for our younger players, will help a lot. We played a few formations today and put some players in some different spots so we can get a gauge of a few things this week before Friday.
