GoFrogs: TCU Takes Out Tulsa, 7-0
FORT WORTH – No. 8 TCU men's tennis (10-4) brought the winning streak to seven matches with a 7-0 sweep of Tulsa at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center on Friday night. TCU won all eight completed matches on the night.
"I was very proud of the way our guys came out, in the doubles," head coach David Roditi said. "Quick win at No. 2, then controlling it at No. 1. We had a different lineup and I thought our guys handled it well. Then we didn't let up in singles, that's exactly the message we wanted from the team. Just because they're [Tulsa] not ranked doesn't mean they're not a good team. They beat us last year and our guys wanted revenge. We didn't take anything for granted. Overall, great performance. Sunday's is going to be a great match. We would love to get a great crowd. We got to keep it rolling here, onto the next match!"

Shortly after Bertus Kruger clinched the win for the Horned Frogs on court six with a 6-2, 6-3 win. He is now 4-3 on the year and has won four straight matches.

After the flurry of finishes for the Frogs, attention was turned to courts one and three. At No. 1 Alastair Gray was engaged in the lone ranked matchup of the night.
