Women’s Basketball: No. 19 Horned Frogs school Incarnate Word on Field Trip Day

TCU surges to 81-43 victory with 5,000+ local students in Schollmaier Arena

Class is in session and professors Madison Conner, Hailey Van Lith, Sedona Prince and the No. 19 Horned Frogs delivered a hoops lesson to the thousands of local schoolchildren in attendance on Thursday afternoon as TCU bested Incarnate Word 81-4 during the annual Field Trip Day at Schollmaier Arena.

The Horned Frogs opened the game with a flurry of attempts from long range as the first nine points came via 3FGs from Conner & Van Lith. The remainder of the first quarter was owned by Donovyn Hunter off the bench, converting consecutive steals into fast break buckets and also draining a three-pointer for seven points in the opening period.

It was a quiet 2nd quarter as the Frogs would only shoot 1-6 from distance, but still added to its advantage to go into half with an 11-point lead. It was Madison Conner coming out of the locker room guns blazing after the break, scoring the Horned Frogs’ first eight points of the 2nd half as TCU would sprint away from the Cardinals. Conner would finish the game with 17 points on 6- 9 shooting with four made three-pointers. Sedona Prince helped the Frogs pour it on in the 2nd half, shooting a perfect 3-3 from the field and 4-4 on free throws after the break

Hailey Van Lith led the scoring for the Frogs, with 19 points and six assists, giving her 25 over the last three games. For the game TCU distributed 20 assists on 30 made baskets with just 11 turnovers, as the Frogs continue to add to nation-leading marks for assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio.

After reaching the Top 20 of the AP Poll following the win over NC State on Sunday, TCU now improves to 5-0 on the season with 20th consecutive non-conference victory. The Frogs will host Idaho State (2-3) on Sunday afternoon before a trip to the Cayman Islands for Thanksgiving week.
