FORT WORTH, Texas – The No. 20 TCU beach volleyball team concluded the Fight in the Fort and went 3-1 on the weekend by beating Central Arkansas (2-4) at the TCU Beach Volleyball Courts in Fort Worth on Sunday.

The Horned Frogs (10-10, 2-1 CCSA) faced No. 7 Cal Poly (10-5) to begin the day. The teams split the first two pairs, but Caroline White and Jordan Westendorff were able to force a third set. They were unable to complete the comeback and fell to the Mustangs' Delaney Peranich and Macy Gordon, 21-18, 12-21, 15-13. The Frogs picked up a win on court two as Molly Scheel and Taylor Bradley fought in a back-and-forth affair in their first set and ended up winning the match, 27-25, 21-11. The Frogs were unable to win on courts one or three and fell to Cal Poly, 3-2.

TCU's next match against UCA was the final one of the tournament. The Frogs cruised to an early 2-0 lead and were propelled by Avery Arellano and Hailey Brockett's quick win on court five, 21-16, 21-10. A third sweep of the weekend was up for grabs after wins on court two and three. Mandi Orellana and Haven Hill forced a third set on court one after recovering from a slow start. However, the Bear's pair of Haley Tippett and Colene Hamilton were able to outlast the Frogs and picked up their only win of the match.
