Frog Focus
The Horned Frogs are off to a 2-1 start this season, with their sole loss coming in ITA Kickoff Weekend to the No. 2 Texas A&M Aggies. In their most recent match, the Frogs defeated the Rice Owls in a tight match in Houston.
The match began with doubles, where TCU won on courts one and two to secure the doubles point. Jade Otway and Isabel Pascual earned their first win of the season with a 6-2 victory over Darya Schwartzman and Fernanda Martinez. On court two, Raquel Caballero and Tomi Main won their first completed match of the season as a pair.
Continuing their winning form, the Frogs got off to a quick start when Yu-Chin Tsai dominated court five with a 6-0, 6-1 victory. Playing in her first career match on court two, Raquel Caballero won in straight sets to extend TCU's lead to 3-0. Following Rice's wins on courts one and six, the score tightened to 3-2. It was Tomi Main who came up clutch for the Frogs, defeating Rice's Francesca Maguina in a three-set thriller (6-2, 3-6, 6-2). This marked Main's first clinch as a Frog.
Scouting the Opposition
The Gauchos come into the contest ranked 24th in the nation and 1-3 on the season. UCSB opened their season with back-to-back losses to LSU and USD in San Diego. The Gauchos followed their slow start with a win against then-ranked No. 21 Vanderbilt, before getting shut out by No. 7 Michigan in Ann Arbor.
UCSB is led by senior Amelia Horner, ranked the 16th-best singles player in the nation and is a part of the No. 17 doubles pairing with Anna-Marie Weissheim.
UCSB leads the all-time series 3-2, with the Gauchos winning the last three matchups in 2022, 2020 and 1994. The last Frog victory occurred in 1987, when TCU won 7-2 in Santa Barbara.
