Horned Frogs score game-winning goal in 85th minute

AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Longhorns stood toe-to-toe with No. 4 TCU before conceding a late goal in a 3-2 defeat at Mike A. Myers Stadium on Thursday night.

"I'm really proud of our squad. We have a young, young team and that's the fourth-ranked team in the country," head coach Ange Kelly said. "Our group is growing up every single match, every single week. There are times we have eight freshmen on the field. This team is in a wonderful spot. I'm pleased with the effort and now it's just the small finer details in both boxes."

In the 85^th minute, Morgan Brown headed home her first tally of the season to vault the Horned Frogs (4-0) ahead.

Texas (1-3-1) nearly found an equalizer in the closing minutes after Audrey Bryant was able to evade TCU's goalkeeper, but AJ Hennessey leaped through the air to redirect the attempt off target.

The Longhorns controlled play in the second half, generating a 13-7 advantage in shots over the final 45 minutes.

Texas had some heroics of its own, as defender Carly Montgomery delivered in the 55^th minute.

Montgomery — who just entered the match moments earlier — rolled a left-footed shot through traffic, sending the 1,353 fans into a frenzy.

The junior's third career tally leveled the match, 2-2, after TCU scored a pair of first-half tallies.

In the defeat, Amalia Villarreal also netted her team-leading third goal. Villarreal capitalized on a TCU handball, drilling a penalty kick at the 8:00 mark to push the Longhorns up, 1-0.

Up next, Texas welcomes the College of Charleston to Mike A. Myers Stadium on Sunday. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.
