Preview: Texas Tech to take on New Mexico.

Thursday will be Marvel Trivia Night as the Red Raiders (1-1-0) close out their three-game homestand. Tech begins a three-game road swing on Sunday.

Tech is looking to bounce back after a 1-0 loss to Arizona. The Red Raiders outshot Arizona 17-6 but were unable to find the back of the net. Tech is famous for not losing more than one game in a row. Since 2018, the Red Raiders have lost back-to-back games only twice (2021 – at Baylor and Texas, 2020 – at No. 9 WVU and at No. 6 TCU). Tech hasn’t won back-to-back games since 2017.

New Mexico is led by senior Jadin Edwards. Lelanie Baker scored as Edwards had a hat trick against CSU-Bakersfield.
