Horned Frogs forced to forfeit the match due to a lack of available players
FORT WORTH – TCU's match against No. 1 Texas on Wednesday has been canceled as announced by the Big 12 Conference.
The cancellation came as a result of non-COVID-19 related illness within the TCU program. The match will not be rescheduled and count as a forfeit for TCU in accordance with Big 12 rules.
"Due to a lack of available players, our staff determined it is not feasible to move forward with the match," head coach Jason Williams said. "The difficult decision was made in the best interest of the health and safety of our student-athletes and longevity of our season. We are disappointed with the development, as we were excited to treat a record-setting Schollmaier Arena crowd to a competitive match against the nation's top team. We remain committed to this season and will work diligently to resume our conference schedule on Saturday against Texas Tech. Our players and staff appreciate the continued support from the Frog Fam and extended TCU volleyball community."
The forfeit will only impact TCU's Big 12 win-loss record. It will not count toward the Horned Frogs' overall record or Williams' career win-loss total. TCU's record now sits at 11-10 overall and 6-5 in Big 12 play.
Fans who purchased single-game tickets to Wednesday's match will be issued a refund by the TCU Ticket Office. Season ticket holders can redeem their seat for an additional ticket to one of TCU's remaining home matches against Baylor on Nov. 12 or Kansas State on Nov. 19.
The Horned Frogs' next match is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday against Texas Tech in Lubbock. TCU took down the Red Raiders in four sets on Oct. 8 in the teams' first meeting.
