TCU women improve to 8-0 with pair of weekend wins

TCU’s women’s basketball team continued its torrid early-season winning streak over the holiday weekend with a pair of wins, including a victory over one of the best teams in the country.

Sedona Prince posted a 20-point, 20-rebound double-double as No. 17 TCU dominated the fourth quarter to upset No. 3 Notre Dame 76-68 on Friday in the Cayman Islands Classic at George Town, Cayman Islands.

Prince’s rebound total was a career high, as were her eight blocked shots. The 6-foot-7 senior center added four assists and three steals while playing all 40 minutes.

LSU transfer Hailey Van Lith added 21 points and seven assists for the Horned Frogs (7-0), who outscored the Fighting Irish 31-12 in the fourth quarter after trailing 56-45 through three quarters.

Hannah Hidalgo scored 27 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Notre Dame (5-1), which made only 25 of 72 attempts from the field. Olivia Miles added 16 points and Sonia Citron scored 14 for the Fighting Irish.

The Horned Frogs then posted a lopsided 87-46 win over South Florida on Saturday.

Van Lith led the Horned Frogs with 23 points while Prince added 17.

The Horned Frogs led 21-11 after the first quarter and 40-22 at halftime.

The 8-0 Horned Frogs return to the court at home on Wednesday, Dec. 4, against Florida Atlantic.
