MINNEAPOLIS – TCU fell 3-1 to No. 7 Minnesota in the season opener on Friday night in Maturi Pavilion. Jalyn Gibson tallied her first career double-double (13 kills, 11 digs) in the loss and Melanie Parra landed 13 kills as well.
The Rundown
The Frogs got off to a hot start in set one with Melanie Parra making her presence felt on the court. She scored her first career TCU kill to begin the match and ended the first set with seven kills and three service aces.
Parra accounted for five straight TCU points in the first set to help the Horned Frogs maintain the lead. Three kills and two of her team-leading four aces propelled TCU to a 17-14 advantage.
Up 20-19, the Horned Frogs executed a 5-1 scoring run to finish the set, highlighted by key kills from Parra and Jalyn Gibson.
Despite falling in the second and third sets, TCU bounced back in the fourth and took a commanding lead early on. Parra's 10th kill of the night gave TCU the 1-0 lead to open the set, and Gibson's 10th kill immediately followed.
