Horned Frogs defeat Cardinals 81-43, improve to 5-0
FORT WORTH – The tipoff time and audience demographic were different, yet the result remained the same for the Horned Frogs.
No. 19 TCU coasted past Incarnate Word 81-43 before an announced 5,379 fans on its annual Field Trip Day inside Schollmaier Arena.
The bevy of elementary-aged spectators lifted TCU to its largest crowd in 11 years. The program's all-time home attendance record was set on Jan. 2, 2013, when 7,394 fans packed the purple bleachers for a game vs. Baylor.
TCU (5-0) has now opened consecutive seasons with five straight wins for the first time ever. The 5-0 start is the Horned Frogs' fifth in 48 years of existence.
The Horned Frogs outscored UIW 46-19 in the second half. TCU scored 20 unanswered against the Cardinals (3-3) to begin the fourth quarter and augment its lead to 76-36.
Hailey Van Lith led all players with 19 points and six assists. The 5-9 guard also notched a career-high three steals and two blocks. She shot 7-7 at the charity stripe.
Sedona Prince collected her 16th TCU double-double, finishing with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Prince scored 11 of her points in the second half.
Madison Conner gave TCU three double-digits scorers as the sharpshooter canned 4-7 looks behind the arc en route to 17 points.
Donovyn Hunter and Aaliyah Roberson pitched in nine points apiece off the bench.
Hunter tallied a game and career-high four steals, three of which came in the opening half.
TCU connected at a 51 percent clip (30-58) and knocked down nine 3-pointers.
UIW became the fourth team the Frogs have held below 33 percent shooting this season. TCU limited the Cardinals to an 18-57 (.316) mark from the field
Van Lith sandwiched a pair of 3-pointers around Conner's first deep ball to stake TCU to a 9-2 advantage three minutes into the afternoon. Leading 11-7, Hunter single-handedly orchestrated a 7-0 run that helped TCU separate for good. Hunter swished a triple from the right key off a high pick-n-roll. She then coasted to consecutive fast break layups off steals on TCU's ensuing pair of defensive possessions.
TCU widened its edge to 25-11 at the 7:40 mark of the second frame off a teardrop from Taylor Bigby and transition three via Conner's right hand. A 7-0 Cardinals run halved the deficit but was as close as the visitors got the rest of the way.
The Horned Frogs took a 35-24 lead into the locker room. Van Lith collected 10 points and four assists in the first two periods.
Conner broke the game open two-and-a-half minutes into the third, canning back-to-back threes after laying it in on TCU's first possession to make the score 43-27. She and Prince combined for 17 of TCU's 21 points in the quarter, with Conner accounting for 11.
Five straight points from Van Lith put TCU up 30 at 66-36 with 5:20 to go. Roberson and fellow forward Deasia Merrill (4 points, 3 rebounds) combined for TCU's final 11 points as the Frogs emptied the bench.
TCU held UIW without a field goal for 8:10 seconds in the fourth quarter.
The Horned Frogs assisted on 20 of their 30 makes from the field. TCU has dished out at least 20 dimes in every contest thus far and continues to lead the country in assists per game (23.9).
TCU finished with a 38-28 edge on the glass. Agnes Emma-Nnopu, who earned her first start of the season alongside Una Jovanovic, matched her season-high on the boards (six).
The Frogs shot a season-best 12-13 (.923) at the foul line.
Up Next
TCU concludes its six-game season-opening homestand vs. Idaho State (2-3) at 4 p.m. on Sunday. It will be the first-ever women's basketball game between the Horned Frogs and Bengals and first time the schools have squared off in any sport since 1998.
