TCU (7-3) jumped out early in the opening set taking a 9-1 advantage. The Horned Frogs built the margin to 23-10, before Montana State (3-6) rattled off a late 6-2 run sparked by two kills from Evi Wilson. TCU closed out the frame on an Ashley Waggle kill.
The Bobcats kept the second set close trailing 12-9 before TCU went on an 8-3 run. MSU fought off four sets points in the waning moments before the Horned Frogs' received a kill from Anna Walsh to go up 2-0.
In the final set, TCU went up 12-5 in the early going. The Bobcats closed to within 20-15 on a Hannah Scott kill, but the Horned Frogs closed out the match on a Bobcat blocking error.

We know we are on the right path and have a highly motivated and dedicated group who are increasing in belief and constantly looking to grow. There's a real sense of excitement right now."
Scott, a sophomore outside hitter from Hawthorne, Calif., paced Montana State with 10 kills, while McKayla Landreth and Wilson each added eight. Allie Lynch dished out 27 assists and added four digs and two blocks.
