TCU’s serve helps carry an 11th straight volleyball victory

TCU kept its volleyball winning streak intact Sunday, Oct. 4, beating UCF in four sets at Schollmaier Arena after an unusually long second-set detour.

The Horned Frogs won 25–8, 31–33, 25–19, 25–22 to reach 13–2 overall and 4–0 in the Big 12. The victory was their 11th in a row.

Serving gave TCU a substantial edge. The official box score credits the Frogs with 12 aces, compared with three for UCF. TCU’s match report says that was its highest single-match ace total since recording 13 at Kansas State in 2019.

The opening set suggested a quick afternoon. TCU produced 15 kills without an attack error, hitting .625. UCF then changed the tone completely, holding off six set points during a 33–31 second-set win that brought the match level.

TCU recovered in the third and still had closing work to do in the fourth. UCF erased a 17–12 deficit to draw even at 20, but the Frogs took five of the final seven points to end the match.

Across the four sets, TCU finished with 61 kills, a .333 hitting percentage and 10.5 blocks. UCF hit .208. The combination of service pressure and a more efficient attack helped the Frogs withstand the Knights’ response.

TCU completes the homestand against Arizona on Friday, Oct. 9, with a 6:30 p.m. Central start scheduled at Schollmaier Arena.
