GoFrogs: Volleyball Falls Short Against Kansas
LAWRENCE, Kansas -- TCU couldn't overcome Kansas Saturday afternoon inside the Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena in Lawrence, Kansas. The Horned Frogs battled hard on defense but KU still managed a 3-0 win: 25-18, 25-21, 25-19.
TCU NOTABLES:
Set 1 (KU, 25-18): TCU couldn't find its offensive rhythm in the opening set. A 6-1 TCU run tied the score, 10-10 early on but the bounces wouldn't go TCU's way for the remainder of the set and KU walked away with a 1-0 set lead. Waggle led the team with four kills on .667 hitting.
Set 2 (KU, 25-21): The second set was a much more competitive affair. TCU jumped out to a 7-4 lead off a pair of kills from both Swanson and Nalls but Kansas bounced back to tie the match at 7-7. In all there were 10 ties in the set as momentum swayed from one bench to the other. The last run came from KU unfortunately as the Jayhawks won the final the final three points to take the set. Nalls led the team with four kills. Dennison was fantastic in the back row, posting a remarkable eight digs.
Set 3 (KU, 25-19): After TCU claimed a 5-3 lead off kills from Nalls, Swanson and Clark, the Jayhawks would claim 10 of the next 14 points to go up, 13-9. Kansas managed the game from there, finishing the set with a six-point advantage. Dennison added six digs to bring her match total to 21.
UP NEXT:
TCU returns to The Rickel for the annual Pink Out match. The Horned Frogs will host the West Virginia Mountaineers on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 7:00 p.m.
