TARLETON STATE WOMEN'S SOCCER FACILITIES

Home to the newest program of Tarleton Athletics, the Tarleton Soccer Complex was installed prior to the Texans inaugural NCAA soccer season at the university in Fall 2022

Formerly the home to Rec Sports intramural soccer, lacrosse, and rugby, the field was expanded to meet NCAA requirements in the summer of 2021. The field turf was installed by Hellas on the north side of the Tarleton campus off Frey Street. Hellas installed a world-class laying surface, Hellas Matrix Helix Turf with Ecotherm infill. Scoreboards are on the northeast and southwest corners of the facility with metal bleachers for ample fan seating.

The Helix feature for Matrix Turf has shape memory technology that is added during the manufacturing/extrusion process which makes each fiber curl. The curled monofilament fiber secures the infill, which prevents migration and "splash out" and produces a uniform, aesthetically pleasing playing surface.

The unique shape of the Ecotherm Infill and the necessary distribution process allows this infill to keep a field up to 30 degrees cooler than a synthetic field with SBR black crumb rubber infill. No irrigation is required with the Ecotherm infill, and it is 100% recyclable, made from recyclable and cellulose fibers.

The combination of Matrix Helix Turf and Ecotherm infill provides an elite playing surface and is used by many elite programs across the country.
