The Horned Frog volleyball team pushed its win streak to nine games Friday with wins over Texas Tech and New Orleans before having it snapped by Oklahoma the following day.

The Friday match proved to be a historic one as the team matched its longest winning streak in school history, and senior setter Nirelle Hampton placed her name in the school record books in the second match as the all-time career assists leader. She had 50 against Texas Tech and 47 against New Orleans.

TCU withstood Stanford's physicality and delivered some of its own in a 31-14 win Saturday.

A big stop by the Horned Frog defense on a fourth-and-inches play in the fourth quarter helped to thwart a late comeback attempt by the Cardinal when senior linebacker Robert Henson and company stood up runningback Toby Gerhart at the line of scrimmage.

Freshman Ross Evans tacked on a 23-yard field goal on the ensuing possession to make it a two-score game with 2:24 remaining.

The full effect of the plus/minus grading system on students' GPAs remains unknown a year after its implementation, university officials said.

Nowell Donovan, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the number of teachers who use the plus/minus system is unknown. He said the system was originally implemented by faculty to create a grading system that was more fair. He said he expects most professors will move to the plus/minus system within two or three years.

Donovan said higher quality universities tend to have a plus/minus system.
