The West Virginia University women's tennis team concluded the regular season by falling to TCU, 4-0, on Sunday afternoon, at the Mountaineer Tennis Courts in Morgantown.

"In doubles, Paula (Goetz) and Lyn Yuen (Choo) got back on track today, which is good to see," fifth-year coach
Miha Lisac said. "For them, it was definitely an important match. You want to be in a position where you are confident going into the conference tournament and they looked more like themselves today."

"We had a couple of good battles in singles," Lisac said. "They definitely found certain things in their game that will work."
Up next, West Virginia awaits the official announcement of the Big 12 Championship schedule to find out who they will play. The tournament will be held at the Texas Tennis Center in Austin, Texas, and will last from Thursday, April 26 through Sunday, April 29.
