Horned Frogs grab two victories in doubleheader

FORT WORTH – In a pair of matchups against two in-state foes at home, the TCU women's tennis team collected two triumphs over Rice and UT Arlington on Sunday at Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

TCU did not drop a single court on the day, securing 4-0 victories over both teams it faced. Only three sets went against the Frogs in both matches, with all three occasions coming against Rice. Yu-Chin Tsai had an undefeated day in singles play, as she was the only TCU representative to earn two singles wins in the two victories.

In a test against the 26th-ranked doubles pairing in Darya Schwartzman and Uma Bakaityte, the 74th-ranked Frog duo of Victoria Gomez O'Hayon and Yu-Chin Tsai were tied 4-4 when doubles play concluded.

With TCU holding a 3-0 advantage and multiple courts up for grabs, Cristina Ramos Sierra was able to settle in and earn a tough 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory to secure the clinching point for the Frogs.

The same firepower that TCU saw just a few hours ago did not go anywhere, as the Frogs were able to breeze through doubles play with minimal resistance.

Tsai would close out the day's proceedings, defeating Mladentseva, 6-0, 6-4.
