PROVO, Utah \u2013 Taylor Zdrojewski<\/a> scored twice, but it was not enough, as No. 8 Texas Tech fell from the ranks of the unbeaten, falling 3-2 to No. 22 BYU at South Field.<\/p>\n

The loss snaps a 56-match unbeaten streak (54-0-2) for Texas Tech (9-1-4, 5-1-1 Big 12) when scoring twice in a match as well as the Red Raiders 18-match unbeaten streak (11-0-7). Tech also fell for the first time in 31 matches (previously 24-0-7) when finding the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Up 1-0 early, the Red Raiders also saw a 287 minute and eight second scoreless streak snapped, as Tech conceded three times for the first time since Oct. 22, 2025, a 3-0 loss to then No. 22\/8 Colorado.<\/p>\n

On top after Zdrojewski picked the pocket of BYUs\u00a0(9-3-2, 5-1-1 Big 12) goalkeeper Paiton Collins to put her side up a goal, the Red Raiders nearly went ahead 2-0 twice on a pair of Zdrojewski shots that sailed over the bar and was saved by Collins.<\/p>\n

Still down just one, BYU (9-3-2, 5-1-1 Big 12) equalized in the waning moments of the 17th minute on a strong run from Emma Hamerbline followed by a perfect cross sailed to the far post that was buried by Mia Goettsche.<\/p>\n

Just one minute and seven seconds until halftime, Tech allowed a second goal when a header in the middle of the six-yard box was headed home by Mattyn Summers-Oviatt. Like Zdrojewski, Summers-Oviatt recorded a brace for the victorious Cougars.<\/p>\n

Following the break, Tech nearly found its ever important second goal when a strong run from Kylie Bahr<\/a> resulted in a rocketed far post shot that was punched wide by Collins.<\/p>\n

Three and a half minutes later BYU struck for a third time when Summer-Oviatt slipped through the Red Raider backline and ripped a shot past a diving Addie Todd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Down by a pair of goals for the first time since the aforementioned Colorado defeat, the Red Raiders scored with just under 20 minutes left when a Raliegh Greason shot-rebound was buried by Zdrojewski.<\/p>\n

The ball which was deemed to have crossed the line stood up upon a VAR review.<\/p>\n

To within a goal for the first time in nearly 30 minutes, Tech was buzzing late but a pair of blocked shots helped the Cougars close out the home victory. The first shot came from Bahr who

\nripped one from 25 that deflected off a BYU defender before being scooped up by Collins, while the final shot was a Hays screamer off a hand-ball free-kick that was also blocked by the Cougar backline.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT:

\nFresh off a three-game, three-state (Oklahoma, Texas and Utah) road swing, the Red Raiders finally return back to Ft. Walker for a Thursday night contest against No. 12\/14 West Virginia. First touch is set for 7 p.m.
