Five earn weekly honors
FORT WORTH – Juan Carlos Aguilar of men's tennis, Damion Baugh of men's basketball, Lauren Heard of women's basketball, Du Mapaya of track & field, and Jade Otway of women's tennis have all been named TCU Student-Athletes of the week, presented by Bob's Steak and Chop House.
Aguilar, a graduate student from La Paz, Bolivia, recorded a 2-0 day on Sunday to help lead the Frogs to a 4-3 win over No.15 Ole Miss after posting his second ranked singles win of the year by defeating the No.44-ranked player in both of his sets and clinching the doubles point with Tim Ruehl at No. 3 doubles. TCU has now won all seven of its doubles points this season, marking the longest streak to begin a season since 2008 and its best doubles start in the David Roditi era.
Men's tennis will take to the courts again this Friday at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center for matches against No.19 Mississippi State. The first serve is scheduled for 6 p.m.
Baugh, a junior from Nashville, Tenn., was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week after leading his team in scoring during both of last week's games with 20 points at Oklahoma and 17 versus Kansas State. He averaged 18.5 points and six rebounds across the two games.
Men's basketball will hit the road again this weekend for a match-up against the ninth ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday, February 12. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas and will be available for streaming on ESPN+.
Heard, a graduate student from Denton, Texas, had another standout week after averaging 22 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists across the week. She recorded 16 free throws, adding to her school record of 593 and allowing her to climb into fourth place overall in Big 12 Conference history. Heard's high scoring week also advances her in the TCU record books, with 1,895 points across her career as a Horned Frog she has now surpassed Sandora Irvin's career total of 1,892 to move to No.2 in all-time scoring at TCU.
Women's basketball will head to Stillwater, Okla. for a road game tonight against the Oklahoma State. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will be available on ESPN+.
Mapaya, a senior from Harare, Zimbabwe, posted the No.1 mark in world in triple jump with a 16.80m mark at the New Mexico Collegiate Classic. This marks his second win in two weeks and helped lead men's track & field to their first ranking of the season at No.17.

Otway, a native of Blenheim, New Zealand, continues to have a breakout freshmen season after winning three matches this week and recording a 2-0 day against Houston to help TCU record its fifth straight home sweep, the longest streak in program history. Otway remains undefeated this season with a 5-0 singles record after dominating her matches against Houston and North Texas, winning both sets by a combined score of 24-9.
