FORT WORTH – Back at home for a pair of matches, TCU Volleyball welcomes Utah and West Virginia to town on Friday, Nov. 7, and Sunday, Nov. 9.
TCU TIDBITS
• The Frogs will be celebrating their Alumni Weekend Nov. 7-9, recognizing athletes over the program's 30-year history.
• TCU looks to bounce back into the win column after dropping each of its last four matches, three of which were against ranked opponents.
• The Frogs have won a program record and Big 12-leading (tied with ASU) six matches against top-25 teams this season.
• TCU volleyball has its sights set on hosting postseason play in Fort Worth for the first time in school history. The Frogs were ranked No. 9 by the NCAA Selection Committee's in-season rankings on Oct. 19.
• The Frogs are 24-2 in Schollmaier Arena since the start of 2024.
• Sophomores Evan Hendrix and Becca Kelley represent TCU on the watch list for the 2025 AVCA Player of the Year Award, which features 47 student-athletes.
• Senior Sarah Sylvester recorded her third consecutive 100+ block season. She needs just six blocks to move into second all-time at TCU.
• With seven matches remaining, the Frogs are aiming for their fourth back-to-back 20-win season in program history.
SERIES HISTORY
• Utah leads the all-time series with TCU, 14-3. The Frogs' last win over the Utes came back on Nov. 7, 2009 (16 years to the day of this season's match).
• Last year, Utah swept the Frogs in Salt Lake City as TCU battled a stomach virus that impacted multiple starters.
• The Frogs hold a 16-9 advantage in the all-time series with West Virginia, including a 9-2 mark in Fort Worth.
• Last season, TCU took care of business on the road, sweeping the Mountaineers for its 20th win of 2024.
UPCOMING MILESTONES
• Samara Coleman is five kills away from 100 in her young career.
• Sarah Sylvester is six blocks shy of passing Allison Lynch (445, 2013-16) for second on the TCU all-time blocks list.
• Becca Kelley is seven kills from 500 and three blocks shy of 100.
• Emily Van Groningen is nine blocks away from 250.
• Alexis Roberson is 12 kills from 300.
• Evan Hendrix needs 54 kills to reach 500 in her career.
• Alice Volpe is 56 digs shy of 700 in her career.
SPEED KILLS
• Head coach Jason Williams contributes a lot of TCU's offensive success to the Frogs' speed. He calls their up-tempo offense "Frog Fast."
• Speed clearly kills as TCU runs one of the top offenses in the Big 12, leading the league with 12.80 assists per set and 13.63 kills per set in conference play.
• Hendrix plays a large role in that success, ranking second with 4.98 kills per set.
