TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team (5-4) fell to TCU, 7-0, on Sunday at the Trabert-Talbert Tennis Center.
The Bearcats lost a tightly contested doubles point to open the first outdoor match of the spring season.
"The bad news is we dropped two matches to two really solid teams, but I think the good news is I feel our level is better than it was last week," head coach Eric Toth said about both matches this weekend. "We got off to a great start on Friday in doubles and almost took the doubles point again today. We had match point, just didn't quite get it done. We just have to grow into playing this level of competition week in and week out, but from an effort standpoint, from an approach standpoint, from an attitude standpoint and from a fight standpoint, we're meeting that standard. Our quality just has to keep growing to get in position where we can beat one of these teams."
The freshman pair of Morgan Pyrz and Sakurako Watanabe got the win against Caballero Chica and Destinee Martins, 6-4 to keep their doubles record unblemished with a 6-0 record on the season.
However, the Horned Frogs took Courts 1 and 2 to snag the opening point.
On Court 1, sophomore Rozalia Gruszczynska and freshman Gabrielle Guenther battled, but eventually fell to Jade Otway and Isabel Pascual, 7-5.
In singles, TCU won all six matches. Guenther fought hard against Martins on Court 3, but the the visitor won the matchup, 6-3, 4-6, 12-0.
UP NEXT:
The Bearcats will travel to Oklahoma to take on the Sooners on Friday, March 8, at the Headington Family Tennis Center, marking the start of a season-long four-game road trip. First serve against the Sooners is set for 3 p.m.
