DENTON, Texas (Nov. 1, 2026) - Fresh off earning the No. 2 seed, the highest postseason tournament seeding in program history, Texas Woman's soccer team will host UT Dallas in the quarterfinals of the Lone Star Conference Tournament on Monday at 7 p.m. at Pioneer Soccer Park.

The winner will advance to Thursday's semifinals in Dallas, hosted by top-seeded Dallas Baptist University.

Monday's matchup marks the third all-time meeting between the two programs, with both previous contests ending in draws. In their regular-season meeting in Denton, TWU and UTD played to a 0-0 tie despite an aggressive Pioneers attack that outshot the Comets 20-9 and placed nine shots on goal.

The Pioneers enter the tournament ranked No. 2 in the NCAA Division II South Central Region, trailing only DBU.

• A  LOOK AT THE PIONEERS: TWU enters the Lone Star Conference Tournament quarterfinals on a two-game winning streak. The Pioneers have dominated defensively by allowing only three goals over the entire year, and they will hope to pick things up offensively to carry them into the postseason with a more balanced attack. Lauren Wade leads the Pioneers with 11 goals on 49 shots and 24 total points to go along with two assists. Defensively, TWU has recorded a program-high 15 shutouts this season,including three straight heading into the postseason. TWU will need to elevate its level of play on the offensive end while maintaining a solid defensive foundation to keep its postseason momentum rolling at Pioneer Soccer Park.

The quarterfinal round of the Lone Star Conference Tournament for the Pioneers begins Monday at 7 p.m. as TWU hosts UTD for a spot in Thursday's semifinal round in Dallas.
