TCU is playing in its first match in 12 days after having its previously scheduled match against UCF postponed to this week. The Horned Frogs secured a 6-1 road victory over Samford in their most recent match, improving to 5-2 this season.
Mercedes Aristegui has been in a strong run of form this season. She leads the Frogs with a 6-0 record in dual singles matches this year, winning her matches by a combined score of 84-29 at the No. 3 spot (78.8 winning pct.). She has not lost a set in dual play thus far (13-0) and leads the team with two 6-0 sets, along with Marie Norris.
Norris is having a stellar spring season as well. She leads all Horned Frogs with 9 singles wins and 17 wins overall. The senior, ranked No. 68 in the country, is coming off another dominating performance her last time out, defeating De Ugarte from Samford, 6-1, 6-1 at No. 2. She has won just under half of her sets this season (10 of 21) by a score of either 6-1 or 6-0.
Scouting the Opponent
UCF enters the match as the No. 18-ranked team in the nation. The Knights are 6-2 this season and carry a six-match win streak into the weekend. UCF swept No. 21 Florida in a home-and-home series earlier this season, collecting a 4-3 home win before defeating the Gators, 4-1, on the road.
This will be the fifth meeting between TCU and UCF. The Horned Frogs lead the all-time series, 3-1 despite dropping the most recent match, last season (Feb. 14, 2020). TCU is 2-0 against UCF on the purple courts.
