AUSTIN, Texas -- Sixth-ranked Texas capped off an undefeated regular season on its home court with a 7-0 victory against TCU on senior day at Penick-Allison Tennis Center.
"It means a lot to go undefeated at home, especially since it is the final year of this facility," Texas head coach Michael Center said. "This is one of the more storied tennis facilities in the nation and is associated with one of the legendary names of Texas tennis in [D.A.] Penick and [Wilmer] Allison. We have had a great fan base this year and our student-athletes have done a really good job competing against really good teams on these courts."
Texas finishes the regular season 9-0 at Penick-Allison Tennis Center and 2-0 at the indoor Weller Tennis Center. It is UT's first undefeated home regular season since 2010.
The Longhorns (19-3, 3-0 Big 12) have won 11 of their past 12 matches, including a current six-match winning streak. TCU (10-10, 0-3) falls to 0-3 in Big 12 Conference play, which features three top-10 teams and five top-30 teams.
