Nov 19, 2022 | Volleyball
FORT WORTH, Texas. – Though Kayde Fernholz collected a career-high 14 kills and Sydney Bolding recorded a career-best 10 blocks, Kansas State could not stop TCU as the Horned Frogs collected a 25-20, 25-14, 23-25, 25-21 win Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
K-State (14-13, 5-9 Big 12) led TCU on kills (56), hitting percentage (.253), aces (4), and blocks (16). Fernholz added six blocks to her record night. Senior Elena Baka clinched her ninth double-double of the season, collecting 13 kills (.114) and ten digs.
Bolding added 11 kills and an ace as junior Mackenzie Morris posted a match-best 19-dig night. Senior Loren Hinkle inked 47 assists, three kills and two aces.
TCU (15-10, 10-5 Big 12) finished with 49 kills and was led by Audrey Nalls with 14 kills. The outside hitter collected 17 digs as Callie Williams added 14 digs and 37 assists. Jalyn Gibson posted 11 kills and seven blocks.
FROM THE HEAD COACH
Head coach Suzie Fritz
Overall thoughts from the match…
"There were a lot of positives as we had higher hitting efficiency, more kills and more blocks than TCU. The end result wasn't indicative of our overall performance. We have to find those opportunities to tie more points together and manage momentum better."
On player performances that stood out…
"It was a good day for the middle blockers – they hit for a high efficiency. When we got them the ball, Sydney and Kayde did well on both sides of the ball. They got a lot of productive touches on a lot of balls so to help us dig it. Those two were very on task tonight and took advantage of their offensive opportunities."
