FORT WORTH, Texas - Heading into her second season with TCU, sophomore Briesha Wynn recently sat down with GoFrogs.com to talk about what the team has been up to this summer and much more.
The Fort Worth native played in all 33 games during her first year on campus, making three starts. She was one of TCU's main contributors off the bench during her freshman season, averaging 5.4 points per game, which ranked fifth on the team in scoring. Wynn, who scored a season-high 13 points against San Diego State on 6-of-11 shooting, posted a 15 rebound outing against UTA in December.
Overall, she scored in double-figures in five contests this season and finished fourth on the team in free throw percentage with a .769 average. Wynn closed the year ranking in the top-15 in the conference in blocked shots.
