Late Surge Lifts #7 Bears Past TCU
2/16/2022 9:36:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Berry leads Frogs in rebounds, assists and steals
WACO, Texas – Lauren Heard scored 18 points and Michelle Berry had a team-high eight rebounds, but a second-half surge helped lead the No. 7-ranked Baylor Bears past the TCU Horned Frogs Wednesday evening at the Ferrell Center.
THE RUNDOWN
TCU used an early 8-0 run to take an 8-4 lead and then proceeded to lead for nearly 11 and a half minutes in the first half, but the Bears closed out the second quarter with a 13-2 run and took a 33-30 lead into the halftime break.
The Horned Frogs managed to get back into the game with back-to-back buckets from Heard and Berry, tying things up at 42-all with 5:09 left to play in the third quarter, but that is when Baylor kicked it into another gear, outscoring the Frogs the rest of the way out. A Bears 9-0 run to end the frame pushed the home team's lead up to double-digits and TCU's deficit was too large to comeback from.
FROG FACTS
• TCU starters for a fourth straight game were Okako Adika, Tara Manumaleuga, Michelle Berry, Kayla Mokwuah and Lauren Heard.
• Heard started in her 116th game at TCU, moving into a tie for fourth-place all-time in school history with Jill Sutton (1997-2001).
• Heard, who finished with 18 points, drained seven field goals in the game to give her a total of 602 field goals made in her career. She becomes just the fourth player in school history to make at least 600 field goals in a career, while also becoming the 53rd player in Big 12 history to accomplish the same statistic.
• Manumaleuga and Berry led the team with three assists each.
• Berry also led the team with two steals on the evening.
UP NEXT
Due to schedule changes made earlier in the season, TCU will now turnaround to host Baylor this Saturday, Feb. 19, at Schollmaier Arena. Tip-off between the Horned Frogs and Bears is set for 1 p.m. in Fort Worth.
