FROG FOCUS
The Frogs boosted their record to 14-2 and currently stand at 3-2 against ranked opponents this season. At home, TCU holds a 45-match win streak.
Coming off a 3-1 weekend in Boca Ranton, Fla., TCU improved to No. 4 in the AVCA coaches poll this week. The Horned Frogs saw wins over FGCU (4-1), No. 16 FAU (3-2) and Palm Beach Atlantic (4-1), but fell to No. 1 USC (4-1).
The dynamic duo of Sutton MacTavish and Alex Parkhurst locked in their CUSA Pair of the Week honor with their dominating 3-0 performance at the FAU invitational. From the No. 2 position, the pairing extended their win streak to 10 with victories over FGCU (21-17, 21-19), No. 16 FAU (18-21, 21-15, 15-12) and No. 1 USC (21-17, 21-19). Mactavish/Parkhurst's straight-set victory against the Ladies of Troy marked the sole point the Frogs earned against USC.
Anete Namike and Ana Vergara also garnered their first ranked win as a pairing against No. 16 FAU from the No. 3 position (21-16, 21-17).
SCOUTING THE OPPOSITION
FGCU (10-10) heads to Fort Worth for a rematch against the Horned Frogs after falling to them at the FAU Invitational (March 15). The Eagles most recently hosted their Senior Day, splitting the day with a win over Palm Beach Atlantic (4-1) and loss to No. 16 FAU (4-1). In all-time history, TCU holds a 4-1 lead over FGCU.
CUSA opponent, No. 13 FIU (14-3), also attended the FAU Invitational and went 3-1 on the weekend. The Golden Panthers saw wins over FGCU (4-1), Palm Beach Atlantic (5-0) and No. 16 FAU (4-1), but were swept by No. 1 USC. In all-time history, TCU holds a 6-2 lead over FIU. The Horned Frogs swept the Golden Panthers the last time the two went head-to-head in Fort Worth (March 24, 2023).
No. 14 Washington (7-7) visited Austin on March 20 where they downed both Texas (4-1) and HCU (4-1). The Frogs collected a 4-1 win earlier this season in the program's first-ever matchup with the Huskies.
No. 11 Arizona State (11-3) comes off a 3-1 weekend at the LBSU Tournament in Long Beach, Cali. The Sun Devils downed Pepperdine, CSUN and Texas, but fell to then-No. 7 Long Beach State. In all time history ASU leads 3-2 over the Horned Frogs.
