TOP QUOTE
Head coach Casie Maxwell
On the win…
"It means a lot going up against a tough TCU team. They put pressure on every ride, and so we knew we would have to perform well today to be able to come out with a win. It's really nice to watch event after event rally and just continue to grow confidence throughout the day and earn one point after another. This is the team that they are, but we just haven't been able to prove this on the road yet. We'll let this be a good confident booster going into next weekend."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears will conclude the fall portion of their schedule by taking on No. 3 Georgia and new Big 12 opponent and sixth-ranked Fresno State on Nov. 8-9 at the Fresno State Invitational in Fresno, Calif.
