Volleyball: TCU’s season ends with second-round loss against Oregon

The Horned Frogs finish with a 22-8 overall record for the 2024 campaign.

The No. 20 ranked TCU volleyball team took the court on Friday seeking a second-round win in the NCAA Tournament. But the third time wasn’t the charm for the Horned Frogs, who took the opening set before dropping the next three in their loss against No. 14 Oregon. It’s the third straight year that TCU has bowed out of the NCAA Tournament during the second round. The Horned Frogs struggled down the stretch, hitting just -.032 and .074 over the third and fourth sets as the Dukes handed TCU a 25-19, 21-25, 11-25, 15-25 loss on Friday.

Melanie Parra finished with 18 kills and 10 digs for the Horned Frogs, who concluded the season with a 22-8 overall record and a 13-5 record in the Big 12 Conference this season. Becca Kelley stepped up against her former team, totaling 11 kills and a .250 hitting rate. Jalyn Gibson led the TCU defense with 15 digs, while freshman libero Alice Volpe added 12 digs to anchor the back row. Stephanie Young and Lily Nicholson combined for 32 assists. The 22 victories TCU earned this season are the most in a single season since 2011.
