GoFrogs: TCU Nets Another Road Win, Downs OSU 72-68
STILLWATER, Okla. – Junior Lauren Heard scored a game-high 25 points and senior Jayde Woods tallied a career-high 22 points in TCU's 72-68 Big 12 Conference road win over Oklahoma State, Wednesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.

The Horned Frogs moved to 15-4 overall and 6-2 in Big 12 play, while also improving to 4-0 in conference play on the road. The Cowgirls dropped to 12-8 on the season and 3-5 in the conference standings.

THE RUNDOWN
Both teams traded punches throughout the majority of the game, but after 20 different lead changes, TCU finally turned the tide and managed to take control late. TCU's largest lead was a seven-point advantage, up 41-34 with 7:42 left to play in the third quarter, but OSU climbed back and it wasn't until 6:48 left to play in the game that the Horned Frogs took the lead and never let go.

Heard would score 12 of her 25 points in the fourth quarter, with a 10-of-10 effort from the charity stripe. Woods scored 11 of her career-high 22 points in the fourth quarter also, as both players combined to score 23 of TCU's fourth quarter points.

TCU shot just 35 percent from the field and OSU countered with a 40 percent effort, but TCU drained five more attempts from the free throw line, which became the difference in the game.

UP NEXT
The Horned Frogs are back home this Saturday, Feb. 1, to host the Kansas State Wildcats in Big 12 action. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. at Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena.
