The TCU womens soccer program and Horned Frog head coach Dan Abdalla have announced its fall 2010 schedule with a difficult schedule that features contests with 14 teams that played in postseason competition, including six NCAA Tournament teams. The Lady Frogs will have 11 home games at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. "I'm excited for our team as they have worked extremely hard this past spring preparing for such a great schedule. We have three conference champions and a team that recently won the NCAA Championship all coming to Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium, which is going to create a great environment, especially with the opening of the Jane Justin Fieldhouse," said Abdalla. TCU's non-conference home slate is highlighted by matches against USC, Sam Houston State, Oklahoma State, Texas State and Houston Baptist, who all played in postseason play in 2009. The Purple and White will play a total of seven non-conference matches at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. USC comes off a season in which they not only made the NCAA Tournament, but also finished the year ranked #24 in the final NSCAA poll. In 2007, the Trojans captured the NCAA Championship. Oklahoma State is coming off back-to-back Big 12 Championships. The Cowgirls also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for a second-consecutive season during the fall, defeating USC in the opening round before falling to Santa Clara in a shootout. On the road, TCU will open the month of August with a match against Texas Tech in Lubbock. The Horned Frogs will also play away matches against Northwestern State, Memphis, Ole Miss and UT-San Antonio. Both Memphis and Ole Miss qualified for the 2009 NCAA Tournament last fall, while UTSA played in the Southland Tournament. The Horned Frogs' conference schedule consists of four home matches and three road games. TCU will host UNLV, BYU, Utah and New Mexico. TCU's MWC road schedule includes games at San Diego State, Wyoming and Air Force. The Aztecs, who claimed the conference tournament championship in 2009, advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2009. The Mountain West Conference Tournament will take place on Nov. 3-6.
