There's still a bitter taste that lingers in sophomore pitcher Matt Purke's mouth after the 2010 season.

The taste of losing for a pitcher who went 16-0 his freshman season might be indescribable. That's why he and his team take things 200 feet at a time after TCU's first 2010 College World Series berth; they certainly don't count the days, either, Purke said.

"Just the bitter taste of getting third instead of first [in the CWS]," Purke said. "We were one game away from the final series, so we're looking to make it to that final series [in 2011] and win the whole thing."

The TCU men's golf team will be in Hawaii on Tuesday to compete in the University of Hawaii Hilo Intercollegiate Tournament in Kona, Hawaii.

Head coach Bill Montigel said the tournament was one of the most prestigious and fielded one of the strongest fields in college golf.

Senior captain Tom Hoge said Hawaii is always one tournament to which the team can look forward.

The GrandMarc's north tower pool will be an unfriendly 40 degrees for Friday's Polar Bear Plunge, an event where participants compete to see who can stay in the pool the longest.

Residence Hall Association Senator DJ Walsted said the event will be raising money for the Samaritan House by accepting donations from the contest's participants. Fifty cent hot chocolate and free s'mores will be provided at the event.

"We are trying to build a community and awareness that the GrandMarc is holding events and has fun stuff to do for TCU," Walsted said.

The fifth-ranked TCU equestrian team will compete against Delaware State University on Sunday for an opportunity to stay undefeated on the season.

The meet is scheduled to take place all day at October Hills Farm in Hudson Oaks, Texas.

Although Delaware State (3-5) is unranked, the match is significant, TCU head coach Gary Reynolds said.

"We don't worry about whether a team's ranked or not," he said. "The biggest thing that we just focus on is execution."

After solid performances in the fall, the TCU women's golf team is ready to return to the green for the 2011 spring schedule.

Last season, TCU finished No. 1 in the Mountain West Conference with a 6-0 conference record. The team finished No. 32 in the nation, according to the Mountain West Conference website.

The Horned Frogs ended the season on a high note. The program won its 12th tournament title under head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin at The Alamo Invitational in San Antonio. It was TCU's first recorded tournament win since 2007.
