Tarleton State secured another shutout win Thursday evening, beating Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 2-0 at the Tarleton State Soccer Complex. Adelaide Wyrzynski scored her first goal of the season assisted by Gabrielle Williams, her first assist of the season, with only 10 seconds left in the first half. Jaycie Bass scored second for the Texans. Her third goal of the season, Bass is now second in points behind Stevie Reynolds. Goalkeeper Emma Barnes recorded a total of two saves for TSU in her 4th shutout this season.
Bass was recently named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week three. She is now the second player in just three weeks to receive a weekly honor for the Texans, her first in her four-year career. She has notched three goals and an assist to record seven total points for the season. The senior has started the last five games for Tarleton State, recording a total of 300 minutes played. She is the fourth person to score multiple goals in a game in program history, as it has only been done a total of six times. Reynolds accounts for three of those, two occurring earlier this season.
Reynolds has been a key asset for the Texans so far in the 2025 season. The senior was ranked inside the top ten nationally in three offensive statistical categories as of Sept. 3: T-6th in total goals (6), T-9th in total points (13), and T-10th in goals per game (1.00). She was also one of only 10 players in the country to have scored six or more goals in the 2025 season as of Sept. 3 and currently leads the WAC conference in six different statistical categories. Reynolds was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week one. During their game against Texas Southern, Reynolds set the new single game shot record with seven shots and tied the single game shot on goal record of five shots on goal. 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. The forward is now tied for first in program history for total goals scored in her Tarleton State career.
Barnes has been a defensive standout for Tarleton State this season. In her third straight starting appearance, Barnes set a new personal record during her Tarleton State career with nine saves and 18 shots faced against UTEP. The goalkeeper has appeared in six of the seven games for the Texans, recording 17 saves and allowing only two goals. Prior to this season, Barnes had only started one match, occurring as a freshman back in September of 2023.
Tarleton State Women's Soccer was recently ranked eighth in the Pacific Region by the United Soccer Coaches. The Texans are currently leading the WAC conference in 12 different statistical categories and have earned four shutouts in just seven games this season.
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 191 career wins, securing 23 of those with the Texans.
11 new athletes 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.
