Fort Worth, Texas - TCU washed its hands of Centenary after less than an hour tonight at the University Rec Center. The prelude to the USA vs. Brazil proved a Frog-fan-pleaser as TCU won 30-12, 30-9, 30-14.
The team tallied a season-high 11 team blocks tonight against the visiting Ladies, sharing the defense and offense throughout eleven Frogs. Jenna Miller had an excellent night, nailing 11 kills in 15 attempts with only one error, giving her a .667 attack average; Dominika Szabo, the Conference USA player of the week, dished out 10 kills in 19 attacks with three errors for a .389 average. Emily Allen also contributed eight kills and a .545 average, while Anna Vaughn put in seven kills in ten attacks for a .700 percentage, and Erin Estep put in six kills and a .556 average. In all, the Frogs collected a .478 team hitting percentage, the second highest in program history, sandwiched between two averages tallied this weekend against Grambling State and school record .612 against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
"You never expect to go under an hour in a match," Coach Prentice Lewis commented after the whirlwind contest. "We kept the pressure on them throughout. It was a great win and everyone did well. Jenna Miller and Calli Corley did very well and stepped it up for us. The team used the match to get better."
USA fell to Brazil in three games during the nightcap at the University RecCenter. A sell-out crowd stubbornly supported the Red, White, and Blue, even while a section of 50 Brazilian fans thumped drums, blew whistles, and shook tambourines for every move made by the yellow and green.
The Frogs have put together a 14-4 record thus far this year, two wins better than last year's final record. Next up, TCU travels to New Orleans on Friday at 7 p.m. CDT to take on the Green Wave of Tulane before battling it out with the Southern Miss Golden Eagles in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Saturday, also at 7 p.m. CDT.
