Tuesday’s women’s tennis match between TCU and Baylor was marked by intense play and momentum shifts. However, the final shift of momentum did not swing toward the Frogs.

With the loss, the Horned Frogs fall to 3-2 on the young season. Baylor improves to 4-2 on the season.
The Frogs could not capture the doubles point for the second time in two matches, only notching one win. Katrin Gaber and Karla Mancinas defeated Daria Potapova and Paola Stephen 9-8 for the Frogs only victory in doubles.
