Frog Focus

TCU is playing in its seventh home match inside Schollmaier Arena, its new, permanent home.
Freshman DS/L Kate Georgiades has been on an historic pace receiving serves. The College Station product has successfully received all but three of the 234 serves sent her way over her first 13 matches (98.7 percent). She is on pace to set the TCU single season receiving record, in her first year wearing the purple and white.
Junior MB Katie Clark has improved her efficiency dramatically this spring. She is hitting .255 over the last three matches, more than doubling her efficiency from the fall (.112).
Clark, along with MyKayla Myers, is second on the team in kills, with 23.
Sophomore Julia Adams has picked up where she left off in the fall. She leads the team with 32 kills in just eight sets of work (4.00 kills/set).
She made an impact in her last match against Oklahoma, delivering 14 kills and seven digs in three sets.
Her work on the defensive end has improved since the fall. She is averaging 1.75 digs/set this spring, nearly a full dig better than her fall output (0.84 digs/set).
Adams is currently third on the team in digs/set this spring.
