TCU topples Baylor women's basketball for first time since 1990, snapping 37-game streak

For the first time in 35 years, No. 9 TCU women’s basketball knocked off rival No. 25 Baylor, 80-75, after the Bears’ attempted 22-point comeback fell just short Sunday afternoon at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth.

The win snapped Baylor’s 37-game win streak in the series, which stretched back to Feb. 28, 1990. The Horned Frogs are now 41-14 in two seasons under head coach Mark Campbell, a remarkable rebuilding job for the second-year coach after taking over a team that finished last in the Big 12 in 2021-22 and 2022-23.

Baylor (16-5, 6-2) forced seven turnovers in the game’s first seven minutes — but still trailed 14-4, as TCU’s Sedona Prince-led defense clamped down at all levels of the court. Prince, a 6-foot-7 Oregon transfer, led all players in points, rebounds and blocks. Her defensive size and mobility played a major role in holding the Bears to 5-for-17 shooting in the first quarter (29.4%) and 36.8% overall.

Entering Sunday’s game, the Horned Frogs (20-2, 8-1) ranked in the top 20 nationally in 3-point makes, attempts, and percentage. They continued to make it rain from deep against Baylor, shooting 9-of-15 behind stellar performances by Agnes Emma-Nnopu (3-for-3) and Madison Conner (4-for-8). Aside from graduate guard Sarah Andrews, who tied her season high with five makes, the Bears combined to shoot 3-for-17 from beyond the arc.
