GoFrogs: Horned Frogs Down Iowa State
FORT WORTH, Texas (November 3, 2018) – A team-high 10 service aces along with a strong offensive presence pushed the TCU volleyball team to a 3-1 (25-15, 25-22, 22-25, 25-14) victory over Iowa State on Saturday afternoon inside The Rickel at the University Recreation Center.
The Horned Frogs (13-10, 5-7 Big 12) controlled the match from the very first point against the Cyclones (12-12, 5-7 Big 12) and put down 53 kills and the second high hitting clip in conference action for the team this season to get the victory (.282). Iowa State, who leads the league in digs, was held to only 53 while TCU picked up 70 with three players notching double-digit digs.
Katie Clark and Sarah Swanson led TCU's offense with 14 kills apiece with both players notching over a .400 hitting clip. The duo were also bringing the defense at the net with Swanson totaling a team-best 7.0 blocks and Clark finishing with 6.0 blocks. Tori Dilfer guided the offense with 36 assists and finished with her ninth double-double with 12 digs. Lexi MacLean was able to pick up 18 digs to lead the Frogs with Berklie Bakerchipping in 17 digs.
Stats of the Match
10 – TCU had five different players record two service aces in the match as the Frogs had a season-high 10 in the match.
Quote from the Match
Head Coach Jill Kramer
Opening Statement
"I was impressed with how our team came out today. I think we were pretty locked into the game plan. Some of Iowa State's lineup changed a bit and we kind of had to figure it out as we went and our communication needed to be really good. We needed to work through a few things and change some things and we executed those things well down the stretch. I thought Tori (Dilfer) did a great job running the offense today and we needed to distribute the ball a little bit different and she did a good job of that and it really helped us. She was so good from the service line and I thought she did a good job of leading the team today. It was a great team win, a great team effort and it was nice to get another win at home."
