Free Kicks:
- The Longhorns will be facing off against Monmouth for the first time in program history as well as battling their first-ever member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
- The Burnt Orange & White are currently riding a season-long three-match winning streak, and the UT defense hasn't allowed a goal over its last 255:40 of match action dating back to the 14:20 mark at Stephen F. Austin on Sept. 6.
- Junior midfielder Haley Berg is riding quite the hot streak lately having SCORED FOUR GOALS OVER TEXAS' LAST THREE MATCHES. She's currently tied for the sixth-longest goal-scoring streak in school history. Former Longhorns player Niki Arlitt holds the school record with a goal in five straight matches (Sept. 14-28, 2007).
- Now a perfect 3-0-0 at Myers Stadium this season, the Longhorns have won 13 straight regular-season home contests. UT hasn't lost a regular-season home match since a 1-0 (OT) defeat against No. 22 Oklahoma State back on Oct. 27, 2017.
- The Longhorns have won their last 18 non-conference regular-season home matches dating back to Sept. 4, 2016, a 1-0 loss to No. 19 California.
- Texas' 2-0 win over Washington marked the 150th victory in Mike A. Myers Stadium history. The Longhorns now boast a 150-45-20 (.744) all-time home record.
- Junior midfielder Haley Berg and senior forward Cyera Hintzen are each off to "helpful" starts to the 2019 campaign. The duo has four assists apiece over the opening six matches (already tied for Berg's career high from 2017) and are tied for the second in the Big 12 in assists and third in assists-per-match. Each needs just five more assists to enter the Longhorns single-season top 10 list where they would tie five players (one of them Hintzen) for sixth. The all-time Texas record for assists is 14 set by Kelly Wilson back in 2004.
- Berg picked up Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career on Sept. 10 after leading the league with eight points on three goals and two assists during wins over Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. It's the third time she's received weekly league honors after earning two Big 12 Freshman of the Week awards back in 2017.
- After going just 2-8 in one-goal matches back in 2016, the Longhorns have since turned around their fortunes in such contests by going 19-9 in their last 28 one-goal matches since beginning 2017 (1-1 in 2019).
- Junior midfielder Haley Berg scored the first brace (two-goal game) of her collegiate career during the 3-1 win at SFA (Sept. 6), while freshman forward Teni Akindoju registered her first collegiate goal and match-winner by scoring at the 61:36 mark of the victory over the LadyJacks.
- With her 81st-minute goal during the 4-3 season-opening win over Gonzaga (Aug. 22), senior forward Cyera Hintzen registered her 10th career match-winning score. The Garland, Texas, native now owns 10 match-winners over her 24 career goals, meaning that 42% of the time she's scored, it has been to win a contest.
