No. 9 TCU volleyball keeps finding ways to win. The Horned Frogs beat UCF 3–1 on Sunday, stretching their winning streak to 11 matches and staying unbeaten in Big 12 play at 4–0. They’re now 13–2 overall, with another home match against Arizona up next.

The Frogs looked unstoppable in the opening set, racing to a 25–8 win. UCF answered with a marathon second set, edging TCU 33–31 to level the match. The response mattered: TCU regrouped, won the third set 25–19 and closed out the fourth, 25–22.

Becca Kelley led TCU with 21 kills and a .357 hitting percentage. Evan Hendrix added 18 kills and 17 digs for her fifth consecutive double-double.

Together, the two outside hitters gave setter Rosemary Archer dependable options as UCF tried to claw back into the match.

The afternoon also brought a milestone for Jalyn Gibson.

The fifth-year senior recorded her 1,000th career kill in the second set, becoming the 14th player in program history to reach that mark.

TCU also piled up 12 service aces, its most in a match since 2019, and finished with a .333 hitting percentage.

That combination of firepower and resilience has powered TCU’s run. Against UCF, the Frogs opened with a dominant set, endured a painful finish to the second, then won the next two rather than let the match slip away.

Their 11 straight victories have taken them from a strong start to an unbeaten Big 12 record and a No. 9 national ranking.

Next up is Arizona, which visits Schollmaier Arena on Friday, Oct. 9. TCU will aim to extend its streak to 12 and keep building its conference lead.

With Kelley and Hendrix producing at the pins, Archer directing the offense and Gibson’s milestone adding to the moment, the Frogs have plenty of momentum ... and another chance to show this winning run has real staying power.
