GoFrogs: Hard-Fought Match Ends with TCU Loss

Results

FORT WORTH, Texas -- An intense, back-and-forth match did not go in favor of the TCU women's tennis team as it dropped a 4-3 contest against Texas A&M Sunday afternoon at the indoor courts at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

After losing the doubles point to Texas A&M (9-1), TCU (6-5) rebounded to win three of the first four singles matches. With the Frogs leading 3-2, it was down to the final two matches, No. 1 and No. 6 singles. Both went three sets and in favor of the Aggies.

Quotes from the Match Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker
"We had some great performances by Marie, Sasha, and Donika. Sometimes a loss like that can make you overlook those three quality wins they had. I'm very proud of those three for bouncing back from Friday with such great commitment and character. For Aleksa, Meredith and Stevie, their effort was good and they fought hard, but we have to prepare them better mentally. They are just not committing confidently to the right things under pressure and that's ultimately our responsibility as coaches. So we will be focusing heavily on that this week in preparation for a much improved UCF team. A big thanks to the fans who stayed for that four and a half hour battle. They were great. Congrats to Texas AM for gutting out a victory today."
