College students seem to have a reliance on caffeine to get them through lectures and late night study sessions, but there are healthier alternatives to power through the day.

After dominating the Cowtown Classic last week, TCU volleyball looked like a different team on Friday, falling to Colorado State in straight sets in their first match of the Fight in the Fort Tournament.

The Horned Frogs never ceased to put up a fight with the Rams, but in the end, they came up short in each set.

The serving of first-year middle blocker Afedo Manyang was the lone bright spot of the match. She led the team with five aces, three of those coming from the first set.

First-year setter Irem Ucar had 21 assists for the night, pairing nicely with first-year outside hitter Audrey Nalls who tallied nine kills.

TCU entered the Fight in the Fort 3-0, while the Rams were 2-1. Colorado State leads the all-time series with TCU, 14-4.

The Frogs will look to bounce back on Saturday as they continue the tournament against Florida Atlantic at 3 p.m.
