FORT WORTH, TEXAS - Seven Castain needed just 22 minutes to write the story of TCU's dominance, scoring twice before halftime and propelling the Horned Frogs to a convincing 3-0 victory over Baylor before 2,147 fans at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium.

The early breakthrough set the tone for what became a one-way contest, with TCU dictating the pace and Baylor struggling to create meaningful chances. Castain's first goal, assisted by Emma Yolinsky and Katana Norman, came after a perfectly weighted through ball from Yolinsky that split the Baylor defense, allowing Castain to finish clinically.

Just four minutes later, Castain doubled TCU's lead, this time assisted by Cameron Patton, who threaded a precise pass through the Baylor defense. The Bears' goalkeeper was left with no chance as Castain slotted home her second goal, epitomizing TCU's ruthless efficiency in front of goal.

The first half was characterized by TCU's control of possession and Baylor's inability to mount a significant challenge. The Horned Frogs outshot Baylor 9-2 in the first 45 minutes, with Castain's two goals representing their only shots on target. Baylor, on the other hand, managed only one shot on target across the entire half, a damning statistic that encapsulates their offensive struggles.

The second half saw TCU continue their dominance, with Cate Sarinopoulos scoring the third goal in the 53rd minute. The goal came after a beautifully orchestrated move involving Morgan Brown and Seven Castain, who provided the assist. Baylor's defense was unable to withstand the pressure, and Sarinopoulos finished clinically to seal the win for TCU.

As the game wore on, TCU continued to control the tempo, outshooting Baylor 25-8 overall and holding a commanding 14-1 advantage in shots on target. The statistical ledger reveals a comprehensive victory for the Horned Frogs, who also edged the corner-kick battle 8-5. Baylor's goalkeeper made 11 saves, a testament to the Bears' defensive efforts, but ultimately, it was not enough to prevent a convincing defeat.

The victory represents more than three points for TCU; it cements their position as a top contender in the conference. With an 11-2-1 record overall and a 5-1-1 record in conference play, the Horned Frogs are on a strong upward trajectory. They will look to maintain their momentum when they face Oklahoma St. next. For Baylor, the loss extends their losing streak to one game, and they will need to regroup quickly as they prepare to face Utah.

Looking ahead, the paths diverge sharply for these two teams. TCU will need to maintain their defensive solidity and continue to create scoring opportunities if they are to remain competitive. Baylor, on the other hand, will need to address their offensive deficiencies and find a way to create more chances if they are to bounce back from this defeat.

The afternoon belonged to TCUβ€”and specifically to Seven Castain, whose two goals will be remembered for a long time. The Horned Frogs' victory was a statement of intent, and they will be a team to watch in the remainder of the season.
