HONORING THE TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM ON THEIR
HISTORIC SEASON
______
HON. CRAIG A. GOLDMAN
of texas
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, February 25, 2026
Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and
commend the Texas Christian University Women's Soccer Team for an
extraordinary and historic season that has brought distinction to TCU
and the State of Texas.
For the first time in program history, the Horned Frogs advanced to
the NCAA College Cup Final Four following a hard-fought 2-1 victory
over Vanderbilt University. This milestone win marked the team's
nineteenth victory of the season and confirmed its inaugural appearance
in the NCAA College Cup. Throughout the season, the team demonstrated
consistent excellence, compiling an outstanding record, outscoring
opponents by an incredible average of 54-22 and excelling against
nationally ranked Top 25 competitors.
The team's collective success was matched by exceptional individual
achievements. Seven Castain earned recognition as an NCAA Elite 90
Scholar-Athlete and Honda Sport Award finalist. Morgan Brown, Seven
Castain, Kamdyn Fuller, Cameron Patton, and Sydney Becerra were named
to the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Team, with Brown and Castain
also receiving United Soccer Coaches All-American honors. Kamdyn Fuller
and Emma Yolinsky earned All-Freshman Team recognition, while Head
Coach Eric Bell was named National Coach of the Year by Top Drawer
Soccer.
The Texas Christian University Women's Soccer Team exemplifies
dedication, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Their composure under
pressure and commitment to excellence have earned the admiration of the
TCU community and residents throughout Tarrant County and beyond. Their
success serves as an inspiration to student-athletes across our state
and a testament to what can be accomplished through teamwork,
discipline, and unwavering determination.
On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I, along with
the people of Texas and the TCU community, congratulate the Texas
Christian University Women's Soccer Team and all those who contribute
to this historic and well-deserved honor.
