The Rundown
The Frogs were in control almost the entirety of the first set. Tied at 4-4, two Melanie Parra aces highlighted a 5-1 scoring run for the Frogs to put them up 9-5. Leading 10-6, kills from Parra, Audrey Nalls and Sarah Sylvester, as well as two aces from Lily Nicholson, continued TCU's momentum and extended the lead to 16-6.

TCU led by eight or more points throughout the remainder of the first set, with a final kill from Sylvester sealing the 25-16 set victory for the Frogs.

Two kills from Jalyn Gibson put the Frogs on the board in the second set. Up 5-3, TCU went on a 9-0 scoring run to take a 14-3 lead, highlighted by two kills apiece from Brianna Green and Nalls. The Frogs continued to cruise through the second set and two Green kills secured the 25-14 second set win.

TCU led by as many as 12 points on two separate occasions and held the Panthers to a -.107 hitting percentage in the second set.

The third set was a closer battle, but TCU never gave up the lead after Sylvester's third kill of the night put the Frogs up 1-0. Green's second service ace of the season gave the Frogs a 9-6 lead to force a High Point timeout, but TCU remained in control out of the timeout with a kill from Nalls.

Leading 22-20, Nicholson won a joust to extend the TCU lead to 23-20, and a final kill from Nalls secured the match sweep for the Horned Frogs.
