CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINA (November 8, 2008) TCU women's tennis ended its stretch at the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships Saturday, falling in singles and doubles action.“I’m really proud of our effort here,” TCU head coach Jefferson Hammond said.
“As upset as the players were about not winning the tournament, we actually had
a strong showing.”
The No. 9 team of Macall Harkins and Anna Sydorska was downed by Notre Dame’s
pairing of Kelcy Tefft and Kristy Frilling, 6-3, 6-4. The TCU duo won two
matches in the tournament, defeating No. 12 Vanja Corovic and Marija Milic from
Texas and Nadine Fahoum and Charleen Haarhoff of Old Dominion.
“Doubles also ran into a team that kept their unforced errors down, Macall and
Anna fought hard and kept it close, but Notre Dame deserves the credit for an
outstanding match.”
Junior Nina Munch-Soegaard also ended her tremendous run through the first three
rounds of the singles bracket, falling to the nation’s top ranked Aurelija
Miseviciute from Arkansas, 6-4, 6-1. By reaching the singles semifinals,
Munch-Soegaard earned the best singles finish at the ITA Indoor Championships in
TCU history. The Amarillo, Texas native earned her three wins over No. 3 Amanda
McDowell of Georgia Tech, No. 30 Samantha Murray of Northwestern and No 70 Maria
Sanchez from Southern California.
“In singles, Nina’s opponent did a nice job of keeping her unforced errors down
and with Nina’s attacking style, it was a question of whether she would be on
and she just had a tough day.”
The TCU women's tennis team has now completed the fall season and will return to
action on Jan. 24, 2008 at Virginia.
