GoFrogs: Frogs Earn Fourth Conference Sweep of Season
FORT WORTH – The TCU women's tennis team defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 4-0 on Friday afternoon at Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.
Today's sweep was the sixth of 2024 for the Horned Frogs and fourth against Big 12 competition. It also marked the first time since 2015 that TCU has swept four Big 12 foes. With the win, the Frogs move to 9-5 overall and 5-2 in Big 12 play.
LEE'S THOUGHTS
"The team is really determined," said head coach Lee Taylor Walker. "They've taken every win or loss this year as an opportunity to learn and grow. They deserve all the credit for having that type of attitude. Attitude, perspective, toughness... these things are talked about a lot in sports... but they really are the foundation of building a good team."
"We have talented players, but without their willingness to grow and learn and enjoy the process of getting better every day- we would not have a result like today. It makes coaching a lot of fun. Even in a 4-0 win there are many things we can improve and get better, and we look forward to doing just that tomorrow in practice in preparation for Iowa State."
THE RUNDOWN
The match began with doubles play, where the Horned Frogs stay undefeated (6-0) on the purple courts. The duo of Helena Narmont and Destinee Martins won on court three, 6-2, to give TCU their first doubles point against Mari Titova and Jasmine Adams. Jade Otway and Isabel Pascual claimed the doubles point for the Horned Frogs, winning 6-4 against Heike Janse van Vuuren and Kyoka Kubo.

Yu-Chin Tsai defeated Heike Janse van Vurren (6-3,6-4) to become 4-1 in conference play. Helena Naramont won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4 over Jasmine Adams to clinch the win for the Horned Frogs.
