FORT WORTH – The TCU women's tennis team defeated the No. 14 Texas Tech Red Raiders, 4-2, on Friday night at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

LEE'S THOUGHTS
"It was a great win for our program today that took a total team effort. I felt like this has been building all week, starting with the match against UCF." Head Coach Lee Walker said. "We took that loss hard because we knew we were in position to win. But even though we lost, we left Orlando feeling confident about this opportunity against Texas Tech.

"Jade and Isa came out locked in with a dominant doubles win over a very good team, and then Raquel and Tomi closed it out for a huge point for us. Tech is a great doubles team and that point really set the tone for us. Singles performances by Raquel and Jade were really solid, but the story of the day really is all about Tomi Main. She's been through a lot during her whole career, and for her to get the clinch in front of her parents who just flew in this afternoon, meant so much for our entire coaching staff. It was a great bounce back win today and sets us up to remain in contention for the BIG 12 regular season title which we all believe we are capable of attaining. One match at a time... a good Colorado team up next. Time to recover tomorrow and get ready for them."
