THE RUNDOWN

AUSTIN, Texas – Audrey Boch-Collins and Angelina Shakhraichuk teamed up for a 6-1 win on the No. 3 doubles court to start No. 23 Baylor off on the right foot, but then No. 3-ranked Texas took over. The Longhorns advanced to the ITA Indoor National Championships with a 4-0 win over the Bears Sunday at the Texas Tennis Center.



As a pair, Boch-Collins and Shakhraichuk picked up their first win of the spring together, evening their record to 1-1 with a 6-1 win over Texas’ Peyton Stearns and Charlotte Chavatipon. With the Longhorns evening things up on court No. 2, Alicia Herrero Linana and Mel Krywoj battled but came up short 6-4 on the No. 1 court to Kylie Collins and Lulu Sun of Texas.



Texas (4-0) took two-set wins on courts No. 3, No. 4 and No. 6 to seal the match. Baylor’s (4-1) Livia Kraus was up in the second set after taking the first on court No. 5, and Krywoj and No. 66-ranked Stearns were in their third set after splitting the first two.



The Longhorns will advance to the ITA National Indoor Championships in Stillwater, Okla. beginning Feb. 5. Baylor defeated No. 20 Arizona State 4-2 Saturday to reach the Austin site title match.
