TCU remained perfect on the season with a 6-1 win over Lamar on Sunday.

FORT WORTH, Texas (January 27, 2019) – The TCU women's tennis team continued their winning ways on Sunday as the Horned Frogs moved to 4-0 on the season with a 6-1 victory over Lamar inside the indoor facility at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth.

The victory for the Frogs (4-0) marks the first time under the helm of head coach Lee Taylor Walker that the team has remained undefeated in the month of January. TCU is off to its best start to a season since 2004-05 when the team went 6-0 to open the spring.

The match was never in doubt against the Cardinals (0-4) as TCU cruised to the doubles point with wins on courts two and three. The Frogs carried the momentum into singles by taking the first set on four of the courts. Mercedes Aristegui gave TCU point No. 2 with a 6-4, 6-2 win on court four with Aleksa Cveticanin finishing off her match in a tiebreaker on court one, 6-0, 7-6(4), to put the Frogs up 3-0. Stevie Kennedy proved to be the clincher as the sophomore took out her opponent on court three in straight sets to give TCU the victory. After the match was completed, Kate Paulus and Addy Guevara also picked up wins on their respective courts in three sets.

Quotes from the Match
Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker
"Today was a really great way to close out our January. We saw a lot of improvement from match to match and a truer understanding of our system from everyone. Aleksa (Cveticanin) took down a really solid player today that was playing with a lot of confidence. It's nice to see her healthy and playing well after the week she has been dealing with in regards to her shoulder. We are entering a new stretch of the season now where we get to play against some of the top teams in the country out of conference with four of the toughest ones coming on the road. I'm excited to see how our preparation will stack up against these teams and I believe we are ready for a great February."
