Soccer: No. 7 TCU clinches Big 12 regular season title with win at Oklahoma State

Seven Castain and Bella Diorio each scored goals, while Megan Plaschko totaled three saves.

The TCU Horned Frogs clinched their third Big 12 regular season championship in women’s soccer on Friday evening, when the team traveled to Stillwater and shut out Oklahoma State 2-0 to end the regular season with a 9-0-2 record in the conference. Megan Plaschko totaled three saves for the Horned Frogs, who took the early lead after forward Seven Castain cashed in a penalty kick during the 11th minute. Bella Diorio gave the Horned Frogs a two-goal lead during the 62nd minute, when TCU converted its second penalty kick.

“It is really hard to win the Big 12 regular season title with the gauntlet of teams this league has, the different playing styles and different things we have to focus on each game,” head coach Eric Bell said after the match. “To go undefeated in the league is really hard to do. I’m really proud of the group for being able to show up every single game in conference, come out and perform. I am really proud of them.”

TCU concluded the regular season undefeated for the second time since entering the Big 12 Conference. The Horned Frogs, who went without a conference loss during the 2020 season, clinched their first Big 12 regular season crown over the last five seasons (2021 and 2020). TCU has now won each of its last six games and hasn’t conceded a loss over its last 12 matches, going 10-0-2 over that span. Friday’s win over Oklahoma State was the seventh shutout of the season for the Horned Frogs, who will be the No. 1 seed for the conference tournament in Kansas City. The team’s next match will be Saturday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m.
