The Texans hosted their Back 2 School Bash on Thursday night, but the game between Tarleton State and Northwestern State was prematurely ended in a scoreless draw after numerous lightning delays. The Texans battled the Lady Demons every step of the way, despite Northwestern State still on a high after recently making waves with an upset at No. 19 Texas a week ago. Before the first lightning delay, Stevie Reynolds nearly netted her fourth goal of the season through just three games, putting it off of the crossbar. Texan goalkeeper Emma Barnes earned three saves, Reynolds had a team-high two shots, and Sammy Schulze had a shot on goal. 

Reynolds was recently named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week one. Reynolds has scored the only three goals for the Texans this season. She was the only player in the WAC to score multiple goals in one game through week one and was one of 35 athletes to score at least three goals in the first week. Reynolds led the conference in game-winning goals, goals per game, points per game, total goals, and total points during week one. At the conclusion of Sunday's game, she moved to second in program history for total goals scored in her Tarleton State career. 

Head coach Pete Cuadrado is in his 22nd season as a collegiate head coach and his fourth season with Tarleton State. He began his career at North Dakota State before moving to Wyoming in 2012, and then to TSU in 2021. Cuadrado currently has 188 career wins, securing 20 of those with the Texans. 

11 new athletes have entered the program for the 2025 season, as well as 16 returning Texans. TSU's 27-woman roster includes seven international players from two different countries: Australia and Canada. 

Eight current Texans have been pillars in building the foundation of the program, competing with Tarleton State Women's Soccer since its beginning in 2022. These athletes include Mikayla Kendall, Rylie Bloomfield, Avery Harr, Kyra Goudzwaard, Kaitlyn Flanagan, Teeghan Dodd, Jaycie Bass and Macy Hellwig. All eight athletes are now academic seniors and will be graduating during the 2025-2026 academic year. 

Mikayla Kendall, a senior goalkeeper from Orange, California, returns for her fourth and final season with the Texans. The nationally ranked senior has been a key player over the past three years, totaling 106 saves in the 2024 season. In a recent release, Kendall was named one of 13 women's Division I goalkeepers to watch ahead of the 2025 season by the United Soccer Coaches. She is the only goalie selected from a university in Texas. Kendall was also named to the 2024 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Women's All-Pacific Region Second Team. 

The 2025 WAC conference schedule consists of 10 games, with only six teams being active members in the league this year. The 2025 WAC Tournament will be hosted by Utah Valley and will be held at UCCU Stadium in Orem, Utah from November 5-8. 

The Texans will travel to El Paso, Texas this week to face UTEP. The game is set for 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 28 at University Field. Tarleton State will then return home to begin their five-game homestand, starting with Incarnate Word on Sunday.
