Free Kicks:
- Texas will be facing off against Oregon for just the second time in program history and for the first time in Austin on Thursday. The Ducks lead the all-time series, 1-0-0, after posting a 2-1 victory in Eugene, Ore., back on Sept. 1, 2013.
- A pair of Longhorns were honored on Sept. 7 as part of the league's weekly awards. Fifth-year senior Savannah Madden picked up her fourth career selection as the Big 12 Conference Goalkeeper of the Week, while Lexi Missimo received her second career selection as the Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Week. Madden made 11 combined saves last week against New Mexico State and at No. 19 Rice with a 0.45 GAA. Missimo tallied her first career five-point effort against NMSU and then added an assist off a corner on UT's lone goal at the nationally-ranked Owls.
- Lexi Missimo now owns an impressive five career goals and 15 career points over her first eight collegiate matches after her career-high, five-point effort on Sept. 2 against New Mexico State (two goals, one assist) and an assist at No. 19 Rice on Sept. 5.
- Julia Grosso usually makes her shots on goal count. Since the start of the 2019 season, Grosso has scored 15 goals on her last 41 shots on frame (37% shot efficiency).
- Texas enters Thursday needing just two more wins to reach 300 all-time program victories. The Longhorns overall record is currently 298-201-55 (.588).
- Texas' 35 shots at No. 19 Rice on Sept. 5 marked the most total shots in a single match for the Horns (previous high was 30) since the arrival of 10th-year head coach Angela Kelly. With 12 shots on goal against the Owls, the Longhorns have also reached double figures for shots on goal in each of their last two contests.
- Longhorns freshman defender EmJ Cox scored her first collegiate goal off a header at 62:04 during the 1-1 (2OT) tie at No. 19 Rice. In the process, she joined Trinity Byars and Tati Fung as freshman Longhorns to tally their first points thus far in the fall of 2021.
- The Longhorns have won 33 consecutive matches in which they scored two-or-more goals in a contest dating back to the start of the 2017 season. The last time Texas failed to win when tickling the twine on two occasions was in a 3-2 defeat at TCU back on Oct. 28, 2016.
- UT is 26-3-3 since the start of the 2018 season when scoring first in a match & is 1-0-2 in such contests in 2021.
