Le Moyne Falls 96-41 to TCU in Non-Conference Mismatch

A Lopsided Start and Second-Half Collapse

The Le Moyne Dolphins entered their contest against the TCU Horned Frogs on Thursday, November 5, 2026, with little hope of containing a highly efficient offensive attack. Played at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, the game quickly established a tone that would define the entire evening for the visiting team.

Despite a tightly contested opening period, Le Moyne’s inability to generate sustained offense or defensive stops allowed TCU to pull away decisively.

The first quarter was surprisingly balanced. The score remained deadlocked at 17-17 at the break, fueled by free throws and efficient shooting from both sides. Lara Somfai contributed early with a driving layup assisted by Jadyn Wooten, while Gianna Nichols opened the scoring for Le Moyne with a three-point jumper.

However, this parity was short-lived. The second quarter saw TCU’s offense ignite, outscoring Le Moyne 28-10 to take control of the game. Somfai continued her dominance, adding a three-pointer and multiple free throws, while Jadyn Wooten also found success at the basket.

TCU’s Offensive Surge Continues

As the third quarter began, the gap widened significantly. TCU outscored Le Moyne 25-2 in the period, extending their lead to a point differential that became insurmountable. Lara Somfai remained the focal point of the Horned Frogs' attack, finishing with a game-high 19 points. Her performance was supported by Bella Hines, who facilitated the offense effectively with six assists.

The fourth quarter served as a formality, with TCU maintaining their commanding presence on the court. Le Moyne managed to score 12 points in the final period, but it was far too little, too late. Sydney Postell and Ava Bluhm provided some scoring for the Dolphins, hitting key three-pointers, but they could not overcome the deficit built in the first half.

Statistical Summary and Final Outcome

The final score of 96-41 reflected the comprehensive nature of TCU’s victory. Lara Somfai was the clear standout performer, leading all players in scoring. Bella Hines played a crucial role in ball distribution, recording six assists for the Horned Frogs.
