- Texas enters Thursday riding a school record 12-MATCH BIG 12 CONFERENCE REGULAR-SEASON UNBEATEN STREAK (8-0-4). UT's last regular-season Big 12 defeat OCCURRED 699 DAYS AGO back on Nov. 6, 2020, in a 1-0 loss at Texas Tech.
- Texas also enters Thursday riding a 10-MATCH UNBEATEN STREAK (7-0-3) dating back to Aug. 28 against Florida. That's the seventh-longest such streak in school history. The program unbeaten streak record is 14 matches stretching from Sept. 12 to Nov. 4, 2021 (10-0-4 record).
- The Longhorns defense currently owns a shutout streak of 200:48 dating back to the second half of the 1-1 tie at No. 12 TCU on Sept. 22.
- Graduate student net minder Savannah Madden was named the Big 12 Conference Goalkeeper of the Week for the fifth time in her career on Oct. 4. The San Diego, Calif., native was rewarded after making a season-high nine saves during a 1-0 shutout of Baylor (Sept. 30).
- With a brace in the 2-0 victory at Texas Tech (Sept. 25), Texas sophomore forward Trinity Byars REACHED THE 10-GOAL MARK IN A SINGLE SEASON FASTER THAN ANY LONGHORNS PLAYER IN SCHOOL HISTORY (10 matches played). The old mark of 10 goals over 13 matches played was shared by former Texas All-Americans Kelly McDonald (2003), Kelly Wilson (2001) & Cyera Hintzen (2018).
- Texas has already attracted two of the top 10 home crowds in Longhorns history this season. The crowd of 3,264 fans versus No. 1 North Carolina marked the eighth-largest attendance in program history, while the 3,130 fans for the Sept. 30 match-up against Baylor ranked No. 10 all-time. The UT record of 5,585 fans was established back on Sept. 26, 2008, against Texas A&M.
- Texas needed just 11 matches to reach the 100-point plateau on Sept. 25 at Texas Tech. That tied the 1997 & 2000 Longhorns squads' SCHOOL RECORD FOR FASTEST TO 100 POINTS IN A SINGLE CAMPAIGN IN PROGRAM HISTORY. The UT record of 172 total points is shared by the 2002 & 2004 Longhorns.
- The Longhorns currently rank FOURTH IN NCAA DIVISION I in assists and assists-per-match (3.00) with 36 helpers over their first 12 contests. Individually, sophomore midfielder Lexi Missimo is tied for FIFTH IN THE NATION in total assists (eight) and ranks SIXTH in assists-per-match (0.80).
- The Longhorns also currently rate FIFTH IN NCAA DIVISION I in points (102), 10TH in shots-per-match (19.83), 11TH in goals (33) & 13TH in scoring offense (2.75). Individually, sophomore forward Trinity Byars currently ranks FOURTH IN NCAA DIVISION I in points (26), total goals (11), goals-per-match (1.00) and points-per-match (2.36).
- At its current scoring rate of 2.75 goals-per-match, Texas is on pace to score approximately 50 goals during the 18-match 2022 regular season. That would be good for fourth all-time in a single campaign in Longhorns history prior to even entering the postseason. The current program record of 57 goals was established back in 2002, while the 2004 (55 goals), 2006 (51 goals), 2000 (49 goals) & 2007 (48 goals) squads round out the top five.
- Sophomore forward Trinity Byars in rolling along offensively after missing the start of the 2022 fall campaign on international duty. The Richardson, Texas, native has now scored a goal in seven of the Longhorns last 10 matches (owns points in eight-of-11 contests) and has totaled at least one point in 20 of her 33 career matches.
