TCU women cap sweep of Iowa State behind Medley, Hamilton

Senior Zahna Medley scored 19 points and senior Veja Hamilton had 14 as the TCU women completed a season sweep of Iowa State with a 79-69 victory Saturday at Schollmaier Arena.

TCU (13-11, 5-8 Big 12) shot 55.2 percent in the second half and converted 11 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter to end a three-game losing streak.

The Horned Frogs, who had just nine turnovers, have won only two of their last eight games, both coming over the Cyclones. TCU won 72-62 at ISU.

Iowa State (12-12, 4-9) trailed 21-10 in the first quarter. But the Cyclones cut the margin to 34-27 at halftime and led 37-36 after a 10-0 run early in the second half.

The Frogs reclaimed the lead for good at 48-47 on a layup from Hamilton with 3:18 left in the third quarter.

The TCU press produced a steal and a layup by AJ Alix and another Hamilton basket made it 52-47. Iowa State never got closer than three.

Medley was 3 of 6 on 3-point attempts, giving her 293 for her career, three short of the school record held by Jill Sutton. With 1,819 career points, Medley is 73 away from Sandora Irvin’s TCU record.

Freshman post Jordan Moore had one of her best outings in league play, with eight points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes of play.

The game was TCU’s annual Play4Kay game in support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Fans can bid on the pink Nike uniforms that were worn by the team online at http://gofrogs.cstvauctions.com/gallery.cfm.
