FORT WORTH, Texas – The 2019 spring season will officially begin on Friday for the No. 14 TCU men's tennis team as they travel to Tulsa, Okla., to take on Tulsa at 6 p.m., at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.
TCU Notables
TCU will begin a season on the road for the fourth time in the eight seasons under the helm of head coach David Roditi.
