Through the first 20 games of the season, TCU women's coach Jeff Mittie has lamented his young team's "up and down play."

But those young Horned Frogs -- TCU has started up to three freshmen this year -- have a chance to prove more consistent Saturday against New Mexico.

TCU is at .500 for the season (10-10, 3-2) but on Wednesday beat Air Force for its first winning streak in conference play. The Frogs traveled to defeat Boise State and the Falcons after a tough home loss to UNLV on Jan. 18.

With New Mexico (6-13, 0-5) visiting, TCU has an opportunity to equal its longest win streak of the year and claim a winning record for the first time since December.

Freshman Natalie Ventress has scored more than 20 points for the Frogs in three of their last four games. She has been TCU's top scorer in nine of the last 11 games, including 21 points in TCU's 66-44 win against Air Force.

New Mexico guard Lauren Taylor led the Lobos with 14 points in a loss at Colorado State Wednesday.
