Lady Frogs battle Bearcats
By Drew Irwin
Skiff Staff

The Conference USA preseason coaches’ poll indicated two teams would most likely battle for the Conference USA championship — TCU and Cincinnati.

But after playing 14 games so far this season, the two teams have gone in opposite directions.

The Lady Frogs are 7-7 (0-1 in C-USA), while the Bearcats are first in C-USA at 11-3 (1-0 in C-USA).

The Frogs will face off against Cincinnati at 6 p.m. Friday at Shoemaker Center, a place the Bearcats have not lost this year (10-0). TCU has yet to win on the road (0-5).

“They’re a good team all around,” head coach Jeff Mittie said. “They’re very good offensively, and they have a good defense.”
