Frogs Upend No. 22 William and Mary, 6-1

WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA -- The No. 25 TCU women's tennis team knocked off No. 22 William & Mary on Sunday by a score of 6-1 at the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center. The win improves the Horned Frogs to 1-1 this season, while dropping William & Mary to 0-1 overall

“We did a nice job of bouncing back today,” TCU head coach Jefferson Hammond
said. “I thought we came out with good focus and played with intensity. I’m very
happy with the win against a very good team on the road. I feel like we have
some momentum going into next weekend.”

In doubles play, the 16th-ranked TCU duo of Macall Harkins and Anna Sydorska
began with a crucial 8-4 win over the No. 37 William & Mary team of Ragini
Acharya and Katarina Zoricic at the No. 1 position. Newcomer Gaby Mastromarino
and junior Nina Munch-Soegaard would follow in the No. 2 position with an 8-5
victory over Klaudyna Kasztelaniec and Barbara Zidek to clinch the doubles
point. The tandem of freshman Kayla Duncan and sophomore Katariina Tuohimaa also
tacked on a doubles win to complete the sweep, winning 8-6, over Carmen Pop and
Katie Kargl.

Mastromarino and Duncan would lead off singles play with a pair of early wins at
the Nos. 5 and 6 positions. Duncan, a Winston-Salem, N.C., native, topped Maria
Morrissey in her singles debut of the spring, 6-1, 6-1, while Mastromarino took
down Zidek by a score of 7-5, 6-0.

Munch-Soegaard clinched the match for the Frogs, picking up her second win of
the season from the No. 1 position. The Amarillo, Texas product, currently
ranked No. 12 in the country, defeated No. 95 Zoricic in straight sets, 6-3,
7-6. Harkins, ranked 49th in singles, also earned her second straight win over a
ranked opponent, toppling Acharya, 7-6, 6-3.

Tuohimaa would also snag a win in a tough battle against W&M's Pop, tacking the
match and ending the afternoon, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4.

The Frogs will now prepare to take on Georgia Tech in the opening round of the
ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Atlanta, Ga.
