After three straight losses, the Horned Frog soccer team secured a dramatic overtime win against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas last Friday. This week, the Horned Frogs will be fighting for a win at home in their last home match of the season against the San Diego State University Aztecs.

Junior forward Jackie Torda was named Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week after her game-winning goal in the Horned Frogs' 3-2 victory over UNLV.

Fans have not filled Amon Carter Stadium to the brim since Sep. 16, 2006 when the Horned Frogs beat Texas Tech 12-3.

On Tuesday, head coach Gary Patterson called for the TCU community to support his team as it worked toward an undefeated season.

"It's not all on the shoulders of the team," Patterson said. "(Fans) need to get themselves out. It needs to be a loud crowd ... There needs to be a home-field advantage."

Dining Services and its employees have proved yet again that the department is one of the most dedicated on campus when it comes to making changes aimed at lessening the university's impact on the environment.

Their latest eco-friendly effort will give students, faculty and staff the opportunity to collect used coffee grounds for free. The grounds contain certain nutrients that, when spread on soil, can help acid-loving plants grow. The grounds have also been shown to help speed up the composting process.

Film, television and digital media students who are fans of watching the characters on "The Office" make fools of themselves on a weekly basis will soon have the chance to pick the brain of an assistant director of the hit show.

Julie Harrison, a sophomore film, television and digital media major, said "The Office" was her favorite TV show. She will get to learn about the behind-the-scenes details of her favorite show from its assistant director, Rusty Mahmood, when he speaks to FTDM students Nov. 2 and 3.

TCU volleyball will look to push its winning streak to five matches Thursday night against the San Diego State Aztecs in San Diego, California.

The Horned Frogs completed the sweep over Wyoming Oct. 24 as they topped the Cowgirls 3-0 (25-20, 25-13, 25-15). Senior Kourtney Edwards led the team with 11 kills, and senior Katelyn Blackwood held up the defensive end with 13 digs.

TCU held Wyoming to 26 kills and a .143 hitting percentage. Senior Lauren Otto and sophomore Kristen Hester combined for 17 of the 41 Horned Frog kills.

Their uniforms speak for themselves. A buttoned down shirt, leather vest, jeans, cowboy boots and a handkerchief tied loosely around the neck. No, they're not the Texas Rangers, but the TCU Rangers, and they're out defending the Horned Frogs at every home football game. The newly-created organization was formed in order to increase the weak student participation that often exists at the games. And by their consistent home game attendance, the TCU Rangers are giving the team the representation they are rightly owed.
