FORT WORTH, Texas - The No. 19 TCU women's tennis team resumes action on Wednesday when it heads to Charlottesville, Va., to take on Virginia to begin a three-match road swing. Match time for Wednesday is set for 1 p.m.
Virginia is coming off a tough 4-3 loss to No. 8 Georgia Tech on Sunday to fall to 6-5 on the season. UVA and TCU are tied 1-1 in the all-time series that dates back to 1994. In the last meeting, the Frogs defeated the Cavaliers 5-2 on March 10, 2004.

In a rematch of a Feb. 3 contest that saw No. 16 Harvard prevail 4-3 at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoors, the Frogs and Crimson will meet for the second time this season on a neutral court. Harvard is 8-3 on the season and posted a 6-1 victory over Tulsa on Sunday. Harvard is 2-0 all-time versus TCU.
