The TCU women's soccer team went 1-0-1 last week, including a draw on the road against then-No. 1 BYU. The win came Sunday afternoon over Stephen F. Austin.

However, despite the strong road showing against the nation's top team, it was not enough to bump the Frogs back into this week's United Soccer Coaches Top 25 poll for Week 5. 

TCU was No. 9 in the preseason poll, then dropped to No. 16 in the Week 1 poll, fell out of the polls in Week 2, back in at No. 25 in Week 3, and then dropped out again in Week 4. 

BYU, though, not only got the draw against TCU but then lost to Utah State over the weekend. Those two matches were enough to drop the Cougars down six spots to No. 7 now.

Texas Tech joined the Top 25, giving the Big 12 Conference with three ranked teams this week - No. 7 BYU, No. 14 Texas, and No. 25 Texas Tech. UCF is also receiving votes this week (No. 28).
