Tennis team takes Aggie’s perfect record

The tennis team‘s weekend victory left the Texas A&M Aggies kissing an undefeated season goodbye and the Horned Frogs celebrating payback.

Playing on the indoor courts of the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center because of rain Saturday, the No. 36 Horned Frogs upset the No. 28 Texas A&M Aggies 4-3, erasing the first round loss in last year’s NCAA Tournament.

Texas A&M received the doubles point, but the Horned Frogs bounced back and won four of six singles matches for the win.

The victory was sealed in the No. 6 singles match as TCU’s Idunn Hertzberg defeated A&M’s Michelle Sammons in straight sets by a score of 6-2, 6-2.

Hertzberg said winning the clincher felt great, and the experience of winning under pressure will help her in the future.

Nina Munch-Soegaard, the Horned Frogs No. 1 singles player, said beating A&M gave the team a boost of confidence.

“It shows us that we can play with anyone and that we’re a good team,” Munch-Soegaard said.

TCU head coach Jefferson Hammond said it was the fan support, not the indoor courts, which gave the Horned Frogs a boost.

“Going into the match I thought it’d give us a slight advantage playing indoors,” Hammond said. “But (A&M) showed they were a pretty good indoor team as well. The fact that we were on TCU’s campus gave us an advantage.”

Hammond said while he has a lot of respect for A&M, revenge was still sweet.

“They beat us twice last season,” Hammond said. “If we meet them again we’ll have to take it to them one more time.”

The win put the Horned Frogs at 2-1 overall and put an end to the Aggies’ undefeated season, who fell to 4-1.
