​TCU women’s tennis isn’t treating its historic Big 12 championship like a finish line. Coach Lee Taylor Walker is using it as a launching pad.After winning the program’s first Big 12 Tournament title and reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly a decade, the Horned Frogs have added five international newcomers for the 2026-27 season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMORE: Deion Sanders’ Recruiting Surge Puts TCU Horned Frogs on Red AlertThe group ties the largest signing class in program history and gives TCU a dangerous blend of college experience, upside and global talent.Transfers Kira Matushkina and Sofiia Mykhailets headline the class, while Erika Nováková, Hanna Resch and Sienna Poma Caruso add three intriguing developmental pieces.Matushkina may be the biggest immediate weapon.The St. Petersburg, Russia, native arrives after three seasons at Old Dominion, where she earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors in both singles and doubles twice.She remained inside the ITA rankings throughout the 2025-26 spring season and finished the year with 26 combined victories.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMatushkina has also won at least 20 matches during each of her three college seasons. That experience should matter for a TCU team attempting to defend a championship while moving deeper into the national conversation.Mykhailets brings similar firepower from Memphis.The Dnipro, Ukraine, product earned all-conference recognition in consecutive seasons and played No. 1 singles in every match for the Tigers.She posted a 10-3 record at the top position, including seven consecutive straight-set victories from late February through early April.Her resume includes wins against opponents from Wake Forest, Columbia, ETSU, UC Santa Barbara, Denver and Xavier. Mykhailets’ 10 victories at No. 1 singles ranked third among American Conference players.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTCU also went hunting for international upside.Nováková, a right-hander from Prague, reached No. 326 in the ITF junior rankings. She joins the Horned Frogs with the athleticism and raw ability to eventually become a major part of the lineup.Resch comes from Munich with a career-high ITF junior ranking of No. 598. Her background in Germany’s team-oriented tennis culture could make her especially valuable inside a college program where chemistry matters almost as much as individual results.Poma Caruso, a native of San Salvador, adds a personal connection to the class.Her family has deep ties to TCU, giving the Horned Frogs a newcomer who already understands what wearing purple represents.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWalker has also indicated that TCU may not be finished recruiting.MORE: Big 12 Flexes Baseball Muscle With 56 Players Drafted in 2026That should get the rest of the Big 12’s attention.The Horned Frogs finally broke through last season.
