TCU Women's Basketball Crushes Tarleton State For 47th Home Win

FORT WORTH - TCU women's basketball has turned Schollmaier Arena into one of the most intimidating home courts in college basketball, and Sunday afternoon provided another reminder of just how difficult it is to beat the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth.

No. 15 TCU overwhelmed Tarleton State 89-42, extending its remarkable home winning streak to 47 games and improving to 3-0 on the young season.

And with Monday marking 1,000 days since the Horned Frogs last lost at home, head coach Mark Campbell's program continues building something extraordinary.

The NCAA's longest active home winning streak wasn't seriously threatened after the opening quarter.

TCU broke open an 11-11 tie by scoring 32 of the next 36 points, transforming a competitive opening stretch into a 43-18 halftime advantage.

The Horned Frogs forced 22 turnovers, recorded 25 assists and shot 50 percent from the field while showcasing the depth that could make them dangerous throughout the Big 12 season.

Clara Silva led TCU with 15 points, all coming after halftime. The 6-7 center scored 12 in the third quarter as the Horned Frogs continued pulling away.

Lanie Grant added 14 points, connecting on three of five attempts from beyond the arc.

Jadyn Wooten contributed 12 points, six assists and five rebounds, while Lara Somfai finished with 12 points and nine rebounds.

Jessie-May Hall provided another offensive spark with 11 points off the bench.

But this wasn't simply an offensive showcase.

TCU's defensive pressure completely disrupted Tarleton State, forcing eight turnovers during the decisive second quarter and holding the Texans without a field goal for more than seven minutes.

The Horned Frogs later unleashed a 22-0 scoring run spanning the third and fourth quarters, eventually building a lead as large as 52 points.

Tarleton State, which fell to 1-1, received 10 points from Caroline Lyles but struggled to establish any consistent offensive rhythm.

TCU also dominated the glass, collecting 43 rebounds, including 18 offensive boards, while generating 34 points from its bench.

Every available Horned Frog scored.

For Campbell, Sunday's victory represented his 90th win at TCU, another milestone in a tenure that has transformed the program into a nationally ranked contender.

The Horned Frogs have now won 26 consecutive November games under Campbell and improved to 40-2 in nonconference competition during his tenure.

Perhaps most impressively, 24 of TCU's 47 straight home victories have come by at least 30 points.

TCU returns to Schollmaier Arena Tuesday at 4 p.m. CT against Iona, looking to extend its remarkable streak to 48 games.

The Horned Frogs haven't faced their toughest competition yet, but their early performances have demonstrated impressive balance, defensive intensity and depth.
