GoFrogs: Volleyball Wins Fourth Straight Match
Final Stats
DALLAS, Texas - The TCU volleyball team increased its winning streak to four straight matches as the Horned Frogs grabbed a 3-1 (21-25, 25-16, 25-19, 25-20) victory over Sam Houston State to conclude action at the SMU Doubletree Invitational on Saturday afternoon inside Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas.
The Frogs (8-3) had to combat a slow start to the Bearkats (3-9) after dropping the opening set, but rebounded to easily control the final three sets to secure the victory. TCU led in almost every statistical category with 54 kills in the match to go along with five service aces and 49 digs.
Ashleigh Martin led the team for the third straight match and topped her season-high offensively again with 19 kills on a .326 hitting clip to go along with six digs. Anna Walshwas just shy of the double-digit mark with nine kills to go with four blocks, while Allye Beth Deaton and Abigail Buckingham each chipped in eight kills. Dani Dennison anchored the back row with 18 digs while Kaylee Smith fell just short of a double-double with a team-best 23 assists and nine digs.
Stat of the Match
4.62 - Ashleigh Martin was nearly unstoppable on offense through the two days of action and totaled 4.62 kills per set through the two matches along with 17 digs and 2.12 digs per set.
Quotes of the Match
TCU Director of Volleyball Jill Kramer
Opening Statement
"Coming in and playing a match like today can be tough sometimes just because you had a tough one the night before against a crosstown rival like last night. Those can have a different type of energy and a different type of feeling and it might be a little bit tougher to recover from. I think our team did a good job of doing that. We started off well but had a little bit of a lull there in the middle of the first set and it was nice to see them bounce back in the next three sets. We changed the lineup quite a bit and the players responded well to that. It was really about energy for us and we needed people to come in and bring energy and that is what we did. They came together and I told them that it was not our best volleyball. There were some great things about it and it is not always going to look the way we want it to, but any win is a good win in the end. It is good that they came back and got that one."
