The Interfraternity Council approved a proposal to add an extra day to the formal recruitment process, which will give potential members more time to learn about each fraternity next fall, the IFC president said.

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.

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.
