THEY SAID IT
Baylor senior Angelina Shakhraichuk on the senior day win…
“I don’t have enough words to describe what I feel right now. I am just so grateful to be a part of this special team and tennis program [at] Baylor. I just want to say thank you so much to my coaches and my teammates for the best five years of my life. I will forever cherish this moment and memories. We are not done yet, so we will be back to work.”

Senior Jessica Hinojosa on the senior day win…
“It was a really good match. It was a very special day for me. Spending five years at Baylor is such a good achievement, it was very special. Our teammates did a really good job celebrating us. My family was here too, so that was really good to see them cheering for me and supporting me.”

Baylor Head Coach Joey Scrivano on today’s match…
“[I’m] just really pleased with the way the team came out and competed. They found that optimum level of feel for the game, played loose and free and it was really good.”

Scirvano on the impact of our seniors…
“They have been absolutely incredible. Those young ladies have been the backbone of the team and really helped us to get to where we are right now. The position we’re in as a team is all because of them. I am just so proud of them. We have a lot of tennis left to play and we’re going to continue to be grateful for them and grateful for this season we have, and really make the most of it!”
