The victory marked TCU’s first NCAA tennis national championship, and only the second time a Big 12 school has won the crown. Texas won the national title in 2019. But the Frogs are no stranger to winning on the biggest stage: The program won ITA Indoor National Championships in 2022 and 2023.
TCU defeated UC Irving, Kentucky and Ohio State before meeting Texas in the national championship match. All four victories were over teams that had won their conference title, including Texas in the Big 12. But TCU got payback in the end.
While the TCU men took home the team title, four Frogs will stay in Stillwater to compete in the NCAA individual championships, starting Monday: Fearnley and Pinnington in the singles bracket and Gorzny and Vives on the double side.
This isn’t the first time a TCU athletics team has taken home a national title this year. The TCU rifle team won the national championship back in March, their fourth national title.
