Raiders Move to 1-1 in Divisional Play

Mar. 2, 2008

With the close loss to SMU the day before still fresh in their minds, the Red Raiders traveled to Ft. Worth to play the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University. On a gloomy overcast day in the metroplex, Tech showed up and earned their first division win of the season, moving them to 1-1 in the LSA North. Although a somewhat rag-tag and sloppy game, the Red Raiders were able to come away with the win, much thanks to great work in transition in the second half and excellent play between the pipes throughout the game.
