LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Texas Tech soccer took on the Princeton Tigers on Friday night in round two of the NCAA Tournament. The Red Raiders and Tigers were deadlocked all the way to the end leading to a penalty shootout after overtime.

Tech and Princeton matched each other with three-straight goals in the shootout before a Princeton miss. However, Ashleigh Williams followed that with a miss of her own. Tech goalkeeper Madison White came in clutch for Tech forcing a miss on Princeton’s final shot attempt.
