COLLEGE STATION, Tex. --- Kira Fallert recorded the 31st 20 kill, 20 digs match in program history on Thursday afternoon as UNI volleyball rallied from down two sets to one to defeat the TCU Horned Frog in five sets to open the Texas A&M Invitational.

The first 20-20 match since Karlie Taylor (2016-19) posted 23 terminations and 23 digs against Loyola in Nov. 2019, Fallert's offensive output helped propel the Panthers to victory after struggling in the second and third frames.

HOW IT HAPPENED
UNI had to overcome a slow start in the opening stanza, falling behind TCU 5-2 before rattling off an impressive 10-0 run, highlighted by seven kills and the first service ace of the season for Emily Holterhaus.
