Texas opened its SEC home schedule with a 2-2 draw against No. 8/4 Tennessee at Mike A. Myers Stadium last Frieday. Mya Brandon and Ashlyn Anderson scored their first goals as Longhorns in the span of just 47 seconds. The nearly consecutive scores gave Texas its first lead over the Volunteers this season. Tennessee evened play in the 68th minute. The draw moved Texas to 5-2-2 overall and 0-1-1 in SEC play.
Brandon was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week.

On Thursday night, the Horns traveled to Gainesville to face off against the Gators, notching another point with a 1-1 draw as Anderson scored a goal in consecutive matches with a penalty kick in the 30th minute. Thirty minutes later, Florida responded with a goal from a set piece to tie the match, a curling 20-yard shot from a free kick just outside the box.
