"It was an ebb-and-flow match," head coach Ray Bechard said in a news release. "Offensively we didn't play very well in the first set, but played great defense. Then we got the offense going in the second set and started the third set well."
Outside hitter Madison Rigdon followed close behind Payne, posting a total of 10 kills while adding 11 digs. That performance was her second double-double of the season.
Against Kansas — a defensive stronghold — TCU struggled to do much on the offensive end. The Horned Frogs finished with a .106 hitting percentage, which marked the 13th time out of 14 games that Kansas' opponents hit under .200.

Kansas now leads the all-time series with TCU 6-2, according to the news release.
Kansas' next match will be against West Virginia on Saturday, Oct. 3, at home. The Jayhawks will be looking to extend their winning streak to 15.
