FORT WORTH, Texas – No. 63 Kansas took an early advantage against No. 19 TCU and closed a 4-3 win over the Horned Frogs on Friday evening. The win is the third straight for the Jayhawks, and the third ranked win of the season.
"What a great college tennis match," Kansas head coach Todd Chapman said. "It was a match full of momentum shifts and we hung in there long enough to pull it out. I'm proud of the girls for continuing to fight this season and tonight. Beating a top-20 team on the road isn't easy to do. We now will focus on Sunday and another tough matchup with Baylor."
Kansas improved to 7-6 (3-1 Big 12) this season, while TCU dropped to 10-2 (4-1 Big 12).
The Jayhawks started off strong in doubles play, picking up two wins to take the doubles point and the early 1-0 lead. On court one, Kansas' Yerkezhan Arystanbekova and Anna Putilina took down TCU's Letizia Corsini and Victoria Gomez O'Hayon in a quick 6-2 match. Kansas took the point on court three, as Kyoka Kubo and Meriem Ben Ezzedine defeated Raquel Caballero Chica and Cristina Ramos Sierra in a 6-4 match.
TCU picked up one doubles win, with Cayetana Gay and Tomi Main picking up a win over Heike Janse van Vuuren and Meg McCarty with a score of 6-4.
The Jayhawks kept momentum going into singles play, winning courts one and two to take a commanding 3-0 lead. No. 45 Kubo picked up a ranked win over No. 80 Chica on court one with scores of 1-6, 6-0, 6-3. Van Vuuren continued her unbeaten winning streak to seven matches with a 6-4, 6-3 win over O'Hayon and is now 8-3 on the year in singles action.
TCU picked up three singles wins to tie the match at 3-3. On court three, Sierra defeated Arystanbekova 7-5, 3-6, 6-4; on court four, Gay took down Ben Ezzedine 5-7, 6-0, 6-2; and on court five, Tomi Main picked up a 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 win over McCarty.
