Women's Tennis Completes 4-3 Comeback Win Over TCU

March 02, 2019 | Women's Tennis

Lady Raiders have now won six of their last seven matches

LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech women's tennis team captured a 4-3 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs at the McLeod Tennis Center on Saturday.

The Lady Raiders improved to 9-4 on the year and 4-0 at home with the win.

After falling behind early by surrendering the doubles point to the Horned Frogs, Tech would bounce in singles play by taking four of the six matches to secure the victory.

Freshman Olivia Peet began Tech's run in singles matches, as she picked up her fifth win of the year with a 6-2, 6-4 victory on court five. Senior Lana Rush also continued her hot start to the spring, as she rattled off a 6-2, 7-6(4) win to give the Lady Raiders their second point of the afternoon.

Down 2-3 with two matches to go, Denise-Antonela Stoica kept hopes alive for the Lady Raiders with a 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 comeback victory to tie the match at three points. Tech's hopes would reside with senior Felicity Maltby who, upon completion of all other singles matches, found herself in a third-set tiebreaker with her opponent on court one. A back-and-forth affair would eventually conclude with Maltby winning the third set, securing the win for the Lady Raiders.
