Avery Harr and Reegan Wagg started the match off by scoring the first two goals within 32 seconds of each other. In the second half, Kaitlyn Flanagan scored her second goal of the season and Gabrielle Williams scored her first, earning the 4-0 win for the Texans. Goalkeepers Mikayla Kendall and Emma Barnes were flawless once again, with Kendall posting four saves.
On Tuesday, Flanagan was named the WAC Defensive Player of the Week for week four. This award marks Flanagan’s first weekly honor and the first defensive award for the Texans in the 2025 season. The senior is now the third Texan to receive a weekly honor in four weeks, following Stevie Reynolds and Jaycie Bass earlier this season. Flanagan has started all eight games and has played four full matches in 2025, scoring two goals and one assist, and is the only Texan defender to have put goals on the board this season.
Bass was recently named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week three. She was the second player in just three weeks to receive a weekly honor for the Texans, her first in her four-year career. She has notched three goals and two to record eight total points for the season. The senior started the last six games for Tarleton State, recording a total of 351 minutes played. She is the fourth person to score multiple goals in a game in program history, as it has only been done a total of six times. Reynolds accounts for three of those, two occurring earlier this season.
Reynolds has been a key asset for the Texans so far in the 2025 season. The senior was ranked inside the top ten nationally in three offensive statistical categories as of Sept. 3: T-6th in total goals (6), T-9th in total points (13), and T-10th in goals per game (1.00). She was also one of only 10 players in the country to have scored six or more goals in the 2025 season as of Sept. 3. Reynolds was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Week for week one. During their game against Texas Southern, Reynolds set the new single game shot record with seven shots and tied the single game shot on goal record of five shots on goal. She was the only player in the WAC to score multiple goals in one game through week one and was one of 35 athletes to score at least three goals in the first week. The forward is now tied for first in program history for total goals scored in her Tarleton State career and leads the team in goals, shots, and points.
Barnes has been a defensive standout for Tarleton State this season. In her third straight starting appearance, Barnes set a new personal record during her Tarleton State career with nine saves and 18 shots faced against UTEP. The goalkeeper has appeared in seven of the eight games for the Texans, recording 17 saves and allowing only two goals. Prior to this season, Barnes had only started one match, occurring as a freshman back in September of 2023.
Tarleton State Women’s Soccer was recently ranked eighth in the Pacific Region by the United Soccer Coaches. The Texans are currently leading the WAC conference in nine statistical categories and have earned five shutouts in just eight games this season.
Head coach Pete Cuadrado is in his 22nd season as a collegiate head coach and his fourth season with Tarleton State. He began his career at North Dakota State before moving to Wyoming in 2012, and then to TSU in 2021. Cuadrado currently has 192 career wins, securing 24 of those with the Texans.
11 new athletes entered the program for the 2025 season, as well as 16 returning Texans. TSU’s 27-woman roster includes seven international players from two different countries: Australia and Canada.
