Outside hitter Melanie Parra’s return to the starting lineup wasn’t enough for the TCU volleyball team during Friday and Saturday’s home series against Iowa State. After a tough five-set loss against the Cyclones on Friday, TCU conceded a three-set sweep on Saturday to fall to 13-12 overall and 6-8 in the Big 12 Conference.
The Horned Frogs, who will face Baylor on the road this coming Friday and Saturday, have now lost six of their last seven games dating back to Oct. 14, when TCU fell against West Virginia on the road. With only five games remaining in the regular season, TCU will need a stellar late-season rally if it has any hopes of contending for the NCAA Tournament.
