FORT WORTH, Texas – The TCU women's tennis team stayed undefeated on its home courts as the Horned Frogs were able to pick up a 4-0 sweep of UTRGV on Saturday afternoon at the indoor facility inside the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center in Fort Worth.

Singles action was all TCU with Hule putting point two on the board as she cruised to the 6-2, 6-0 victory on court four. Kate Paulus followed with a 6-1, 6-1, victory of her own on court three before Mercedes Aristegui clinched the match on court two with a 6-1, 6-2 win.

Quotes from the Match
Head Coach Lee Taylor Walker
"I am very proud of the team coming together today to get the win. With three of our players out with injuries and another two playing through some pain, we needed to be prepared and professional with today and we were. I am proud of Elizabeth Tedford for making an appearance and doing well in her doubles. I am also grateful for her joining us at last minute notice and appreciate the team welcoming her back in. We will have some strong competition ahead of us now and I'm confident we are going to be healthy and at full capacity for Arizona State and Ohio State. These are two matches we have been looking forward to."
