FORT WORTH, Texas - The 26th-ranked TCU women's tennis team beat No. 62 Tulsa, 5-1, Saturday afternoon at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center. The match was played indoors due to inclement weather. The Frogs move their season record to 17-4, 3-0 C-USA, while the Golden Hurricane falls to 14-8.
The Frogs picked up the doubles point with their win at No. 2 and a default by Tulsa at three doubles. 47th-ranked Leoni Weirich and Saber Pierce topped Aleks Durska and Mariana Barrios, 8-6, for the Frogs' doubles win.
