FORT WORTH, TEXAS (February 15, 2008) The No. 36 TCU women’s tennis team will play host to No. 28 Texas A&M in Saturday’s home opener at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center. The match is scheduled for 12 p.m., but may be moved indoors at 1 p.m., depending on weather conditions.
The Horned Frogs (1-1) are coming off of a 6-1 victory over North Texas on Wednesday. TCU freshmen Maria Babanova, Idunn Hertzberg and Katariina Tuohimaa
all earned their first collegiate dual-match victories at the bottom three singles positions, while Nina Munch-Soegaard and Anna Sydorska added wins at the top two positions.
TCU is led by Munch-Soegaard and Sydorska in singles play, who are ranked No. 66 and No. 80, respectively. The doubles team of Sydorska and Macall Harkins are currently ranked No. 18 nationally, and have already notched a win over a ranked
opponent with an 8-7(4) victory over the 25th-ranked Texas duo of Corovic and Milic.
The Aggies are currently 4-0 on the season, with their last win coming against No. 35 LSU. Texas A&M dominated the match, earning a 6-1 decision with the only loss coming at the No. 1 singles position against No. 8 Megan Falcon.
TCU holds a 20-17 advantage in the overall series against Texas A&M, but the Aggies have won the last two meetings. The Frogs fell 5-2 in College Station last season, and suffered a 4-1 setback in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament to end the year.
Free pizza will be provided to the public at Saturday’s match.
