FORT WORTH, Texas โ Texas Tech (8-10, 0-6) fell to No. 10 TCU (15-3, 6-1) on Friday night. The Horned Frogs, coming off a loss last week, bounced back with a big win over the Red Raiders.
Shelby Ignash led the team with nine kills and was in on the only two blocks by the team. Elia Dinsmore had eight kills and nine digs while Kenna McKenzie and Gretchen Sigman combined for 11 kills to round out the major scorers for Tech.
Katelyn Cochran had 24 assists and seven digs along with two kills. Emily Contreras led the team with 12 digs while Maggie Boyd and Ashlyn Bellamy also had eight digs. TCU was led by Evan Hendrix who had 17 kills on 46 attacks.
Tech kept it close in the first part of the set, down 6-7 after McKenzie picked up two early kills. The Horned Frogs went on an 8-2 run going into the media timeout. TCU built its lead out to 19-10 before a quick 4-0 run by Tech, thanks to two kills and a block from Ignash, cut the lead in half. TCU figured it out quick and would close out the set 25-15.
The second set was close early as well. Tied at 11-11, TCU took a small 15-13 lead into the media timeout. Tech hung in there and it did not make it easy on the Horned Frogs but would eventually drop the set 25-21.
The Horned Frogs opened up the third set with a big lead. They were up 15-6 going into the media timeout and did not let up as they went on to clinch the match with a 25-17 set win.
UP NEXT: Tech will head to Houston to take on the Cougars at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
