FORT WORTH, Texas - The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced the TCU volleyball team as the eighth recipient of the newly created Volleyball Market/AVCA Play of the Week.

The Horned Frogs earned the honor after beating two other semifinalists - Iowa State University and University of Michigan - during a week-long voting period.

The award-winning play came during TCU's home clash with Mountain West Conference foe Utah on Nov. 7. The 30-second rally is highlighted by the resilient defensive efforts of the Frogs. Utah tries to put the ball away several times, but TCU responds defensively each time, until finally a Utes' back row attack goes into the net, resulting in a Frogs' point. TCU went on to its eighth-straight victory, a 3-1 decision, and tied the program's single season record for wins in the process.  

The play, which can be viewed on the AVCA's YouTube channel by clicking here, will now join the other finalists in becoming eligible for the Volleyball Market/AVCA Play of the Year, to be announced at the AVCA All-America/Players of the Year Banquet on Friday, Dec. 18, at the AVCA Convention in Tampa, Fla.
