Texas’ first ever game at Reliant came in 2003 when the Horns knocked off the Owls, 48-7. UT defeated Colorado, 70-3, in the 2005 Big 12 Championship game en route to a National Championship. In 2006, the Horns claimed a 52-7 victory over Rice.

UT SOCCER PLAYS USC TO DRAW -- (UT Sports Info) - The University of Texas Soccer team recorded its first tie of the 2010 season after playing to a double overtime 1-1 draw with Southern California Sunday afternoon out at Mike A. Myers Stadium. The Longhorns, whose lone goal came from junior Kylie Doniak, stay undefeated at 2-0-1 while USC is 1-1-1.

Texas came out on the attack in the first half recording its only goal in the 18th minute. Doniak, the 2009 leading scorer for Texas, connected on a perfect cross from Sophie Campise for her first goal of the season. Campise brought the ball up the right sideline before sending it into the middle of the box where Doniak was able to softly head it into the upper corner of the net for the goal. It marked the second straight game that Texas has scored in the first 20 minutes of the match.

The Longhorns had a chance later in the half to extend their lead when USC's Allie Harrison was given a red card and Texas had a penalty kick in the 41st minute. Senior Erica Campanelli took the kick but her attempt was saved by USC keeper Shelby Church.

With UT up 1-0 and USC down to 10 players, the Trojans came out on the attack in the second half, outshooting the Horns 11-2 during the second 45 minutes. The game evened up slightly in the 64th minute when Campise was given a red card, leaving UT with 10 players for the remainder of the match.

The Trojans tied the score with just three minutes remaining in the half when Carly Butcher sent in a corner kick that went wide to Megan Ohai. Ohai passed it into the center of the box where Ashli Sandoval recorded the goal.

With neither team able to connect in the last three minutes, the match headed into overtime. Both teams got a good look on goal in the first 10 minutes period with USC firing a shot that sailed just inches over the cross bar in the 93rd minute. Then, Texas' Stacey-Ann Smith got her best chance of the match with two minutes left when she brought the ball up and got around two USC defenders to set up a one-on-one with Church. Smith, the junior from Texas' track and field team, sent her shot to the lower corner of the net but Church was able to dive and make the save.

The second overtime played to the same tune as the first and with neither team able to find the back of the net, both recorded their first ties of the 2010 season. USC outshot the Longhorns 18-9 but Texas had a 7-4 advantage on shots on goal in the first meeting between the two programs.

The Longhorns stay in Austin next weekend as they host Navy at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3 and UC-Riverside at 7 p.m. on Sept. 5.

LONGHORNS ANNOUNCE FALL, 2010, CAMPAIGN -- (UT Sports News) - The Texas Longhorns will play three fall baseball games this season the team announced on Monday, August 9th. All three of the games will be played at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

The Longhorns host Texas State on Sunday, Oct. 10 at 1 p.m.

Texas hosts Vanderbilt in a pair of games, including a 5 p.m. contest on Friday, Oct. 15 and a 1 p.m. game on Sunday, Oct. 17.

The Horns open practice with a Scout Day on September 19 and conclude their fall allotment of team practices on Oct. 28.

It has also been learned that right-handed pitcher Cole Green and first baseman Tant Shepherd were unable to work out deals with the respective teams that drafted them before Major League Baseball's August 16 deadline so the duo will return to play for the Longhorns as seniors in 2011.

The Detroit Tigers drafted Green in the fourth round with the 133rd overall pick. He was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and earned Louisville Slugger All-America First Team recognition in 2010, posting an 11-2 record with a 2.74 ERA, four complete games, two shutouts and 75 strikeouts in 17 games.

The Cincinnati Reds selected Shepherd in the 47th round. Shepherd started all 63 games for the Longhorns in 2010 and led the squad with a .337 batting average, 64 runs, 83 hits, 19 doubles and 14 steals. He also added two triples, eight home runs and 37 RBI to earn All-Big 12 Second Team honors as an infielder.

Right-handed pitchers Chance Ruffin and Brandon Workman signed with their respective teams at the deadline. Ruffin was selected by the Tigers in the Compensatory Round A between the first and second rounds. Workman was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the second round with the 57th overall pick.

Kevin Keyes, Kyle Lusson, Russell Moldenhauer, Connor Rowe and Cameron Rupp all signed with their Major League teams in July and have already begun their professional careers.

Keyes, Moldenhauer and Rowe were all drafted by the Washington Nationals and are currently playing for the Vermont Lake Monsters in the Class A Short-Season New York-Penn League. The trio has helped Vermont to a 29-26 record and the Lake Monsters sit atop the Stedler Division of the NYP standings. Keyes is batting .203 with seven runs, three doubles, one home run and 13 RBI in 24 games. Rowe is hitting .234 with 11 runs, three doubles, one triple, three home runs and 11 RBI in 24 games. Moldenhauer is batting .234 with 17 runs, three doubles, six home runs and 19 RBI in 23 games.

Lusson signed with the Tampa Bay Rays as a free agent. He is currently playing with the Hudson Valley Renegades of the New York-Penn League where he has four RBI in seven games.

Rupp was selected in the third round by the Philadelphia Phillies and is currently playing with the Williamsport Crosscutters in the New York-Penn League. He is hitting .230 with 17 runs, 10 doubles, five home runs and 25 RBI in 43 games.

The Longhorns lost one signee to the draft as right-handed pitcher Mike Foltynewicz was selected by the Houston Astros with the 19th overall pick in the first round. He is currently 0-3 with a 5.52 ERA in nine starts for the Greeneville Astros of the Rookie Appalachian League.

McFalls joins the Texas staff after spending the last five seasons as the head coach and assistant athletics director at Midlothian High School in Midlothian, Texas. During her tenure at MHS she posted a 139-48 record and led her team to five-straight playoff appearances.

"Jennifer will be a great addition to our coaching staff," Clark said. "Her diverse experience as an Olympic athlete, coach, administrator, Team USA selection committee member and analyst is invaluable."

McFalls played collegiately for Texas A&M where she earned first-team All-America honors as a shortstop in 1993 and led the Aggies in batting average, hits, total bases and slugging percentage in all four seasons of her career. In 1994 she was named the school's Female Athlete of the Year and in 2001 she was inducted into the Texas A&M Hall of Fame. McFalls graduated from A&M in 1997 with a degree in kinesiology.

TEXAS MEN WIN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP -- (UT Sports Info) - Texas roared back on the final day of competition behind nine top-eight finishes and claimed its 10th NCAA team championship Sunday at the 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.

After beginning the day in second place with an 18.5-point deficit to California, Texas overtook the Golden Bears and took first place with 500 points. California placed second with 469.5 points, and Arizona placed third with 387 points. The NCAA team title is the Longhorns' first since 2002 and makes head coach Eddie Reese the first coach in NCAA Division I men's swimming and diving history to win NCAA team titles in four separate decades.

MEN'S TRACKSTER WINS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP -- (UT Sports Info) - Texas freshman Marquise Goodwin won the national title in the long jump as the Longhorns tied for 17th place at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday. The Horns scored 15 points during the meet, 10 from Goodwin's victory, three from Hayden Baillio in the shot put and two from Keiron Stewart in the 110-meter hurdles.

"We finished in the top 20 again, so we're happy about that," said head coach Bubba Thornton. "Certainly, with a few breaks, we could've been up around the top 10, but we're a young team. Every one of our individual performers was making their first trip to the national meet, so we think we can build on this. The experience of this meet will definitely help those guys and we expect it to lead to even better performances in the next few years."

Goodwin posted a leap of 26-9 to win the long jump by over seven inches. The mark moved him into second on UT's all-time performers list, ahead of Richard Duncan (26-8.50). The winning jump was just one inch shy of his lifetime-best 26-10, which he set almost one year ago at Hayward Field in finishing fifth at the U.S. Championships. That mark remains the national high school record.

"First off, I just want to thank God," Goodwin said. "I feel really blessed with all the things that happened this year. I had to battle through an injury, so to be able to come out and be at my best during the end of the year was great. All my jumps felt good today. The crowd was really into it and I was so amped up for the finals, I just didn't get on the board. But, I thought I put the pressure on with my first jump and I'm glad it held up."

He opened with the 26-9 and followed that with marks of 25-10.25 and 26-4.25. After qualifying for the finals, Goodwin was forced to wait on the second flight of jumpers to take his final three attempts, which all resulted in fouls.

Goodwin's championship marked UT's first national title in the long jump since 1996 and its sixth overall. Goodwin joined Duncan (1996), Eric Metcalf (1986 and '88), John Robertson (1946) and Jud Atchison (1939) as Texas long jump national champions. Metcalf was actually on-hand at Hayward Field to watch Goodwin jump.

In the shot put, freshman Hayden Baillio used a personal-best 61-7.50 to finish sixth. He moved into seventh on UT's all-time performers list thanks to the mark. Baillio opened with a 58-4.50 before posting the 61-7.50 on his second attempt. He added a throw of 60-4.50 in round three before fouling on his final three attempts.

Freshman Keiron Stewart claimed seventh place in the 110-meter hurdles with a 13.97. He became the first Longhorn to earn All-America honors in the event since Jermaine Cooper did it in 2002.

The Longhorn quartet of freshman Alicia Peterson, sophomore Stacey-Ann Smith, junior Chantel Malone and sophomore Angele Cooper clocked a 3:34.22 to pick up two points for the Horns. The relay, which won the event in 2009, placed for the second-straight year marking the first time they've scored in back-to-back years since 2004 and 2005.

All four members of the relay also earned All-America honors. Texas has placed in the mile relay 20 times in the 28 years it has competed in the NCAA outdoor Championships

Malone also competed in the long jump placing 13th with a leap of 20-2.5 (6.16m).

Texas A&M won the 2010 team title with 72 points followed by Oregon (57 points), Florida (40 points), Penn State (34 points) and Virginia Tech with 33 points. Texas finished tied for 51st with three points.

HOOKER, ANDERSON -- 2008 NCAA CHAMPS -- (UT Sports Info) - With just two athletes competing on day three of the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the Longhorns won two national titles behind senior Alexandria Anderson in the 100m and junior Destinee Hooker in the high jump.

LONGHORNS PACE 2008 OLYMPICS -- (Courtesy UT Sports Info) - Ten former and current University of Texas student-athletes accounted for a total of 14 medals, including 10 gold, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. If these athletes were competing as a separate country, Texas would have ranked eighth among all nations in number of gold medals earned and tied for 18th in number of total medals won.

In its storied Olympics history, former and current University of Texas student-athletes have produced a total of 116 medals, including 67 gold, 31 silver and 18 bronze.

Former swimmer Aaron Peirsol paced the Longhorns' contingency with three total medals. Peirsol claimed gold in both the 100-meter backstroke (world-record time of 52.54) and the 400-meter medley relay (world-record time of 3:29.34) and earned silver in the 200-meter backstroke. Texas-ex Garrett Weber-Gale won gold medals in the 400-meter freestyle relay (world-record time of 3:08.24) and the 400-meter medley relay (swam the freestyle leg in the prelims).

Four other Texas swimmers earned gold medals in Beijing. UT junior Ricky Berens swam the third leg of Team USA's gold medal-winning and world record-breaking 800-meter freestyle relay (6:58.56), while classmate Dave Walters earned a gold medal after swimming in the event's preliminary round. Texas-ex Brendan Hansen swam the breaststroke leg on the 400-meter medley relay, while former Longhorn Ian Crocker claimed a gold medal after swimming in the event's preliminary round.

Texas-ex Sanya Richards ran the anchor leg on Team USA's gold medal-winning 1,600-meter relay and earned a bronze medal in the 400-meters. Former Longhorn Melaine Walker claimed a gold medal for Jamaica in the 400-meter hurdles (Olympic-record time of 52.67).

Texas-ex pitching legend Cat Osterman earned a silver medal with the U.S. softball team, while former Longhorn catcher Taylor Teagarden helped the U.S. baseball squad to a bronze medal.

These totals do not include UT head women's basketball coach Gail Goestenkors, who served as an assistant coach and helped Team USA to the gold medal in women's basketball, or the one gold and three silver medals earned by Texas women's swimming volunteer assistant coach Kirsty Coventry for Zimbabwe.

A total of 23 current or former University of Texas student-athletes and five current coaches represented seven countries during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

In addition to Goestenkors' gold medal with Team USA's women's basketball squad, Eddie Reese paced the U.S. men's swimming team to 16 total medals (nine gold, two silver, five bronze), while Bubba Thornton directed the U.S. men's track and field squad to 14 medals (four gold, five silver, five bronze).
