Soccer: Olivia Geller notches six-save shutout, leads No. 6 TCU past No. 22 Wisconsin
The Horned Frogs edged out No. 22 Wisconsin on a second-half goal by Kamdyn Fuller.
The No. 6-ranked TCU soccer team kicked off its season with a hard-fought road win over No. 22 Wisconsin on Thursday evening. In a scoreless first half, the Horned Frogs capitalized on a corner kick penalty in the 79th minute, which resulted in a Badger own-goal. This goal set the stage for TCU to secure a 1-0 victory and commence the season with a 1-0 record. Notably, the Horned Frogs achieved this feat despite not registering a single shot on goal and suffering a significant outshot tally of 13-2 against the Badgers.
Olivia Geller shone in goal, earning a shutout and contributing six crucial saves throughout the match. The Hornets Frogs earned their maiden win over the Badgers in program history, reversing the previous trend of the teams' interactions, which had been 0-2-1 in their last three contests. This game represents the second time TCU has started the season against a ranked opponent under coach Eric Bell, marking the first such instance under Bell's tenure with the team opening on the road.
The match also showcased the team's depth, as four players - Kamdyn Fuller, Cameron Patton, Zoe Cuneio, and Olivia Geller - remained on the field for the full 90 minutes.
