TCU snaps six-game win streak against SMU with loss on Sunday

FORT WORTH – Kayla Mokwuah tied a season-high with 12 points and Aja Homes pitched in with 12 points as well, but the TCU Horned Frogs dropped a non-conference home game to the SMU Mustangs, 79-53, Sunday afternoon at Schollmaier Arena.

TURNING POINT
SMU used an 11-3 run to close out the first quarter and then went on to outscore TCU 23-5 in the second quarter, on the way to earning a road victory. The Horned Frogs (4-5) opened the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run, but the Mustangs (6-6) built a lead by as many as 30 points in the third quarter and the deficit proved too large to overcome.

FROG FACTS
• For the first time this season, TCU had a starting line-up of Aahliyah Jackson, Okako Adika, Aja Holmes, Lauren Heard and Patricia Morris.
• TCU and SMU were playing a late-scheduled game as both teams had conference games postponed earlier in the week.
• The Horned Frogs snapped a six-game winning streak against the Mustangs with the loss, a streak that dated back to the 2014-15 season.
• TCU wraps up non-conference play with an overall record of 4-5.
• Mokwuah tied her season-high of 12 points, which she previously set in the season-opener against Houston Baptist.
• Mokwuah set a new season-high with two blocked shots.
• Holmes drained four three-pointers on Sunday and has now made 10 three-pointers in the past two games.
• Morris and Jackson tied for the team high with five rebounds each.
• Heard and Tavy Diggs led the team with four assists each.
