Frogs record some firsts against C-USA foes The Frogs split the Conference USA games this weekend, losing Friday to UNC-Charlotte and winning Sunday against East Carolina. The weekend included some firsts for the Frogs (15-4, 5-1 C-USA). The loss against the 49ers was the Frogs’ first loss in C-USA. In the loss they allowed 81 points to a team averaging 57 points a game. This was also the first time they have allowed an opponent to score 80-plus points in a single game. Head coach Jeff Mittie said in a post game press conference that the 49ers got out to a good start and stayed ahead. “We played poorly (Friday),” said Mittie. “It’s terribly disappointing.” Junior Grace Gantt recorded a team high 20 points in the loss to the 49ers. The Frogs were also outrebounded in the contest 36-27. TCU is now 0-4 this season when allowing the opponent 70-plus points. The Frogs bounced back after the loss with a 58-42 win over ECU (3-15, 1-5 C-USA). Senior Kati Safaritova led the team in scoring with 12 points. She was the only Frog to reach double figures in the scoring column. “Offensively we weren’t able to get much done,”Mittie said in a post game press conference. Mittie said he feels that the defense staying strong has really been the key when they win. The Frogs led at half-time by 18 points outscoring the Pirates 32-14. The two teams combined for 50 turnovers in the contest. The Frogs continue their C-USA road trip 7p.m. Friday when they face South Florida (12-7, 2-4 C-USA) at the USF Sun Dome. Nathan
