Frogs earn first road win in first opportunity
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - No. 2 TCU played its first match away from the purple courts on Tuesday night when it traveled up to Ann Arbor, Mich. to battle No.13 Michigan.
After winning 4-0 inside the Varsity Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Michigan, it is safe to say that the Horned Frogs aced their first road test of the season.
TCU earned the doubles point in the top two flights. In singles play, the Horned Frogs won on courts 3, 5 and 1 to clinch the match.
"Great road win for the guys. A win at Michigan. It has never been done in TCU men's tennis. It was great to get that road win before (ITA) Indoors. We played really well at the top, singles and doubles. Really proud of the guys. It was a great crowd. We just played really well. I'm proud of them. Now we go to New York City, little Broadway, little pizza maybe, whatever. Bring it on. It should be fun. Go Frogs"
With the win, TCU has now won 31 indoor matches in a row.
