Texas Tech Soccer Lands Multiple Big 12 Honors Ahead of Postseason

Texas Tech finished the regular season with a 13-2-4 record overall, losing the title to BYU on the last matchday of the season in a 3-2 loss to Kansas. If the Red Raiders had drawn with the Jayhawks, the title would have returned to Lubbock for the first time since 2023.

While the regular season didn't end with a conference title for Texas Tech, they secured several awards and honors and were named the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 Soccer tournament.

Six Red Raiders earned All-Big 12 honors, including four First Team selections, one Second Team selection, and one All-Freshman Team selection.

Taylor Zdrojewski was unanimously voted Big 12 Forward of the Year, as well as being named Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The senior is the first Red Raider to win Forward of the Year since former Racing Louisville FC player Kirsten Davis won it in 2021. She is also the first to win Scholar of the Year since Hannah Anderson was given the honor in back-to-back seasons from 2022 to 2023.

Zdrojewski is coming off of playing all 18 games in the regular season, where she scored 13 goals to lead the conference, along with 70 shots, 34 of them on goal.

She wasn't the only Red Raider to win an individual award; however, Addie Todd was named Goalkeeper of the Year. The senior transfer from Florida State won two national titles with the Seminoles before finding her way to Lubbock.

She started every minute in the goal for Tech, recording 10 clean sheets and giving up only 13 goals all season, en route to a .72 goals-allowed average, which led the conference.

The other two members of the First Team for Texas Tech were seniors Kylie Bahr and Eleanor Hays. Both played in every match for Tech, combining for six goals and nine assists, while along with Todd, anchored a Red Raider defense that only conceded 13 goals all season.

While the senior class for Texas Tech occupied the First team, two underclassmen found themselves receiving honors as well.

Sophomore Raleigh Greason was named to the Second Team in a season where she finished second on the team in shots at 40 to go with three goals and three assists as one of the Red Raiders' main facilitators on offense.

The lone All-Freshman selection for Tech was Lauren Alvarez. The defender started in 13 matches this season, with 11 of them coming in conference play. While she joined a rugged backline with two other all-conference players, she also finished conference play with a goal and an assist.

The Red Raiders are looking to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament after losing to North Carolina on penalty kicks in the second round last season. The tournament selection show is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, at 3:00 p.m. CT.
