FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU women's swimming and diving team improved to 7-3 this season with a victory over North Texas, 168-130, on Friday night at the University Rec Center Natatorium.
"I was very proud of the way we competed tonight against North Texas," head coach Richard Sybesma said. "To win on senior night is a special thing and I'm glad we were able to do that for our kids tonight."
After honoring the 17 seniors on this year's squad, the Horned Frogs women's team opened up the night with a win in the 200 medley relay, clocking in at 1:45.72. The team of Ashley Alspaugh, Devin Newton, Emily Gibson and Julia Grace Sanders brought home the victory for TCU.
