FORT WORTH, Texas – The Texas Tech women's tennis team came back from a slow start to pick up an impressive win on Sunday afternoon, knocking off TCU, 4-1, in a nonconference road match at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

The Lady Raiders (4-5) started the match out in a 1-0 hole, as the Horned Frogs took the doubles point with wins on courts one and three; however, doubles would be the last point TCU scored on the day, as Texas Tech ran off four-straight wins in singles to clinch the match.

Texas Tech got on the board quickly as TCU's Kate Paulus retired on court four, giving Lady Raider sophomore Nell Miller the win and tying the match at one-all.

Freshman Margarita Skriabina gave Texas Tech the lead for good as she defeated Stevie Kennedy in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0. It marked Skriabina's fourth-straight dual win.

Bojana Marinkov earned her third dual win of the season to stretch the Texas Tech advantage to 3-1 and put the Horned Frogs' backs against the wall. The Lady Raider freshman defeated TCU's Margaret Polk, 7-6, 6-1.

It was freshman Lisa Mays that clinched the Lady Raider win, defeating Mercedes Aristegui, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. Mays moved to 3-2 since moving to the No. 2 spot in singles last week.

The Lady Raiders continue their roadtrip on Saturday when they travel to Tempe, Ariz., to face off with No. 24 Arizona State.
