TCU women’s basketball scored a season-high 34 points in the second quarter, giving the team an 87-74 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday.
Junior guard Lauren Heard led the team with 23 points, marking the 18th-straight game this season she has scored double-digit points.
TCU fell behind early after Kansas drained six 3-pointers in the first quarter to take a 24-17 lead, but they responded quickly in the second quarter.
The second period was all about offense for the Horned Frogs, as they outscored Kansas 34-14 in the frame to take a 51-38 lead going into the halftime break.
Kansas would go on to outscore TCU 14-12 in the third quarter; however, the Jayhawks would only get within nine points before TCU would score 24 in the final quarter to close out the game.
TCU would finish the game shooting 52% from the field and 41% from 3-point range.
With the win, TCU moves to 17-4 overall and 8-2 in the Big 12 for the first time in program history.
TCU will be back on the road next Wednesday as they will take on No. 2 Baylor in Waco. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at the Ferrell Center.
