FROG FOCUS
The Horned Frogs are 4-3 this season and are playing in their first road game since Feb. 9 against UC Santa Barbara. The Frogs are coming off of a 4-3 victory over the Washington State Cougars.
The match started in doubles, where Helena Narmont and Yu-Chin Tsai won their first match as a duo in a 6-1 victory on court three. However, the Cougars won on courts two, 6-2 and one, 6-4, to take the doubles point.
In singles, the Horned Frogs fought back quickly when Tomi Main won on court five for the first time as a Frog in a commanding 6-1, 6-0 victory over Martina Markov. Maya Drozd gave TCU the 2-1 lead following 6-2, 6-1 win on court six. Yu-Chin Tsai moved to 4-1 in singles on the season as she took down Hania Abouelsaad on court three in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
But the Cougars fought back, taking court one 6-3, 6-3, and then winning in a three-set tiebreak on court two to even the score at 3.
It was captain Isabel Pascual who came up clutch for the Frogs. With the score tied at 3 and the last match on, Pascual was locked in a 4-4 third set with Washington State's Elyse Tse. But after holding serve to take the 5-4 lead, Pascual broke Tse's serve to clinch the match for TCU.
SCOUTING THE OPPOSITION
The UT Arlington Mavericks are 4-3 this season, and 4-1 in their last five games. UT Arlington is 4-1 at home, with their sole loss coming in a 4-1 defeat to Grand Canyon on February 9.
