AMES, Iowa – The TCU women's tennis team defeated Iowa State, 4-2, on Sunday afternoon at the Mckee Tennis Center in Ames, Iowa.

LEE'S THOUGHTS
"It was such a big win for us today, just a really, really gutsy win by the ladies. The loss to Tulsa and the loss to Kansas just really hurt." said Head Coach Lee Walker. "We feel like we're better and had those matches both on our racket to win and so Friday night was just really devastating. We just really challenged the girls to lay it all on the line today and get the season back on track."

"Ames is a really tough place to play, they do a good job and their players fight really hard. It's really loud and it's in a bubble, so it's a very challenging environment. I'm really proud of our girls to just overcome it and get the win today. Jade loves the fact that she's played that girl three of the last four years. Three years ago, she lost 6-2, 6-2. Last year, she lost 6-4, 6-4. This year she won 7-5, 6-2. She is really proud of her development and growth. Yuki was clutch, Tomi fighting off second set points from her opponent to get that tiebreaker win. Overall, it was just a really gutsy effort by the team. We have our last two home matches next weekend. We have senior day coming up, the seniors have done so much and we're just really pumped to celebrate them. We got a huge match Friday night and Sunday. There is some beautiful weather forecasted so we need a big crowd and we need some support."
