No. 2 TCU shuts out Oklahoma State 4-0, one win away from ninth league title

FORT WORTH – TCU moved within a victory of its ninth Big 12 Championship on Thursday.

The No. 2 ranked Horned Frogs shut out No. 74 Oklahoma State 4-0 at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

TCU improved to 18-2 overall and 6-0 in Big 12 play ahead of a visit to Texas Tech on Sunday. The Horned Frogs will claim a share of the league title with a victory over the Red Raiders. A win in West Texas positions TCU to secure an outright regular season championship in its regular season home finale vs. No. 16 Baylor on April 13.

The Frogs dropped just one set all dual vs. the Cowboys (7-12, 1-4 Big 12). TCU swept all three courts in doubles in a simultaneous clinch. Jack Pinnington, Albert Pedrico and Duncan Chan punctuated the clean scoresheet with straight set victories in singles on courts one, four and six.

"It's always an honor playing the Cowboys," said head coach David Roditi. "They are a classy team with very good coaches and administrators. I hope they felt the same hospitality we feel whenever we visit Stillwater."

TCU won its sixth straight match and 15^th in its last 16 tries at the expense of the Cowboys.

The Horned Frogs notched their 30^th straight home victory dating back to March of 2023.

Roditi earned his 296^th career head coaching victory. Now in his 15^th season at the helm of his alma matter, Roditi sits 16 wins shy of reaching 400 dual victories as a Horned Frog when including his playing career from 1992-96.
