FORT WORTH, Texas -- The TCU Lady Frogs (8-6, 2-1 MWC) cruised past the Air Force Falcons (10-5, 1-3) by a 71-57 score on Saturday at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU has won five straight over the Falcons and is 6-1 in its last seven games.
The Lady Frogs steadily increased their lead to double figures in the first half, going up 22-11 with 9:47 on the clock after a jumper by Ashley Davis. TCU would lead by as many as 20 in the period at 41-21 following a three by Davis with 2:24 to go.

The Falcons managed to pull within 10 early in the second half, but the Lady Frogs' size and athleticism allowed them to prevent an Air Force comeback. TCU lead by as many as 24 with the score 69-45 at the 6:50 mark.
In addition to Davis, three other Lady Frogs reached double figures in the scoring column. Adrianne Ross tallied a dozen, while Lorie Butler-Rayford and Jenna Lohse added 11 each. Butler-Rayford also had a game-high eight rebounds, six of which were on the offensive end.
