The TCU volleyball team has reached the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, with the Horned Frogs earning an at-large berth in the Fayetteville Regional and a first-round matchup against No. 6 seed Florida State. It’s the second time that TCU (16-14, 8-10 Big 12) has reached the tournament under head coach Jason Williams, who took over the program last year. The Horned Frogs, who enter the tournament having won three of their last five matches, fell 3-0 in their Senior Day season finale against BYU on Saturday.

The Horned Frogs will take on the Seminoles at 4:30 p.m. central time on Friday, Dec. 1. The winner will advance to the second round and battle either No. 3 Arkansas or Stephen F. Austin for the regional championship in Fayetteville on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. TCU reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament during the 2022 season, when the Horned Frogs defeated the Washington Huskies in the first round of the Madison Regional before falling to the Wisconsin Badgers. TCU finished 17-11 and 11-5 in the Big 12 last season.
