No. 10 Tcu Women Go From 1 Conference Win And Tryouts To Big 12 Title That Fittingly Comes At Baylor

Those "Underfrogs" from TCU, a team that won only one conference game two seasons ago and last year needed open tryouts to fill roster spots after a series of injuries, are now outright women's Big 12 champions.

The title-clinching game couldn't have been more fitting for the 10th-ranked Horned Frogs, a 51-48 win Sunday night at 13-time champion and No. 17 Baylor.

"Baylor's been the powerhouse, the juggernaut in our league for a long time," second-year TCU coach Mark Campbell said. "So to beat them in this environment for this kind of game, it just shows you that our program's arrived at the highest level in college basketball. ... This win carries a lot of significance for many reasons."

TCU 28-3, 16-2 Big 12, which is in its 13th Big 12 season, won a regular-season title for the first time since the Mountain West in 2010.

Sedona Prince had 16 points and 19 rebounds for her 13th double-double this season and Hailey Van Lith scored 14 points as the Frogs beat Baylor 25-6, 15-3 again, five weeks after an 80-75 win at home that was their first win over their instate rival in 35 years.
