SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - The No. 32 TCU women's tennis team won their sixth consecutive match in a 5-2 defeat of Utah on Friday at the Eccles Tennis Center. The win improved the Horned Frogs to 13-7 overall and 4-0 in the Mountain West Conference, while dropping the Utes to 13-7 overall and 3-2 in conference play.
"I think when we won the doubles tiebreaker to clinch the doubles point it really helped build momentum going into singles play," said TCU head coach Jefferson Hammond. "I was impressed with our fight and our team camaraderie. We really helped each other today playing at an away match."
The duo of Andrea Morgado and Karine Ionesco started doubles play with an 8-5 defeat of Utah's Karine Bourdages and Andrea Maughan at the No. 3 spot.
After TCU lost the match at the No. 2 position, the tandem of Anna Sydorska and Nina Munch-Soegaard secured the doubles point for TCU with a 9-8(1) defeat of Elizabeth Ferris and Leigh Walsh.
After No. 58 Sydorska fell at the No. 1 singles position, No. 43 Cetnik put the Frogs back up 2-1 as the senior defeated Walsh 6-2, 6-3. The win was Cetnik's sixth straight victory.
A Utah victory at the No. 6 slot evened the match at 2 points each, before Kewa Nichols knocked off Maughan, 6-3, 6-2, to earn her eighth consecutive victory.
No. 93 Munch-Soegaard clinched the match for TCU en route to the freshman's team-leading 18th win, with a 7-6(3), 6-2 victory over Emily Kwok.
Morgado would go on to defeat Cheyenne Reveche 6-7(2), 6-2, 10-7 at the No. 5 position to earn her sixth consecutive victory.
The Frogs will return to action in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT against No. 35 BYU. For complete results, visit www.gofrogs.com.
