THEY SAID IT

Baylor head coach Joey Scrivano on Friday’s performance …
“I felt like we started a bit slow. The mental readiness wasn’t optimal today, but credit to our ladies. They fought back, they found their game and really bounced back nicely in doubles. ACU is tough, they make it competitive, and I was proud of the way we found a way.”



Baylor senior Jessica Hinojosa on Friday’s performance …
“It was a really good match from all the girls. We fought really hard and we practiced really hard this week, so we were happy to get through the match. We’ll be ready for Sunday vs. SMU.”

WHAT’S NEXT

Baylor stays home to take on SMU Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Hurd Tennis Center.
