Women’s tennis team loses to Tulane at tourney

The 55th-ranked TCU women’s tennis team couldn’t pull off the upset win against the 28th-ranked Tulane Green Wave in the Conference USA Championship match Tuesday. Tulane topped the Horned Frogs, 4-0. TCU’s record goes to 11-10 overall and 4-2 versus C-USA.

Tulane swept the lower three singles positions to clinch the championship title. As in doubles play, TCU battled back, but no matches were finished after the Green Wave clinched the win with Ana Saaibi’s 7-6, 6-2 victory over freshman Iris Jaklin at No. 5.

“We really played pretty close,” said head coach Dave Borelli. “We were up in three matches at the end before the match was called. The kids rose to the occasion today.”
