FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU women's basketball erased a second-half deficit, but fell just short in the end of a 66-63 loss to Iowa State at Schollmaier Arena on Wednesday night.
TCU (16-9, 7-7) was down by 11 points late in the third quarter, but quickly bounced back to take a lead less than three minutes into the fourth. An Iowa State (11-14, 5-9) 7-0 run then gave the Cyclones a lead TCU never retook. The Frogs had the final possession down by three points, but missed two 3-pointers.
Dakota Vann led the Frogs with 16 points, a TCU career-best, including 3-of-3 from long range. Amy Okonkwo added 14 points and Amber Ramirez had 10. Jayde Woods dished a career-high eight assists with no turnovers.
Bridget Carleton led the Cyclones with 26 points, despite TCU holding her scoreless for the first 18 minutes of the game.
Defining Moments
TCU went scoreless for the final 3:42 of the first half and the first 2:23 of the second half as Iowa State built a lead. The Frogs made just 1-of-8 to start the third period and the Iowa State lead grew to as big as 11 points, 45-34, with 2:52 to go in the third.
The Frogs were down by eight points entering the fourth quarter, but needed less than two minutes to take the lead as Ramirez capped a Kianna Ray steal with a 3-pointer that put TCU up, 48-47, with 8:05 to go in the game.
Iowa State eventually retook an eight-point lead, 62-54, with 3:19 remaining. A Lauren Heard free throw with 37.2 seconds remaining got TCU within two, 65-63, before Adrianna Camber matched it with a free throw with 23.1 seconds remaining.
That gave TCU one final possession. Ramirez got a good look at a 3-pointer that rimmed out, but Okonkwo got the offensive rebound with less than 10 seconds remaining. TCU's second 3-point attempt of the possession, this one by Jayde Woods, also missed and the Frogs fell, 66-63.
Stat of the Game
16 -- Dakota Vann scored 16 points, her best in a TCU uniform, including 3-of-3 3-pointers. It was second double-figure scoring game as a Horned Frog.
Quote of the Game
"This is a disappointing loss for sure for our team. It's hard to sweep teams in our conference, and this time of the year every single possession is so important. You have to have a sense of urgency, especially when you're playing against a team that shoots the three as well as Iowa State is right now." -- Raegan Pebley
Up Next
TCU remains at home to host its annual Play4Kay game on Saturday when Kansas State visits for a 2 p.m. contest at Schollmaier Arena. The Frogs won a close game at K-State back on Jan. 24.
