No. 6 TCU soccer’s daunting non-conference slate continues as the Horned Frogs host No. 2 Duke on Sunday at 7 p.m. Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium.

The Blue Devils are the fourth-ranked team TCU (3-1-1) will face before jumping into Big 12 play. Duke (4-1) advanced to the quarterfinals of last year’s NCAA Tournament, falling 2-1 to Santa Clara.

Santa Clara was among the ranked teams TCU has faced so far and the Horned Frogs delivered an emphatic 7-0 victory over the Broncos on Aug. 25.

Both teams are looking to get back in the win column as TCU fell 3-0 to USC on Thursday while Duke lost 2-1 to No. 1 UCLA on the same day.

The game will also featured two of the best scorers in the country. TCU forward Messiah Bright has continued to excel and leads the team with four goals and nine points. Duke will be led by Michelle Cooper, who was voted ACC Freshman of the Year and National Freshman of the Year by TopDrawerSoccer.com.
