WACO, Texas -- No. 35 Baylor women's tennis will be making its 25th NCAA Tournament appearance with an at-large selection, as it was announced on Monday night.



In the NCAA Stanford Regional, Baylor (17-12, 7-6 Big 12 Conference) will open up against No. 31 LSU (15-10, 6-7 Southeastern Conference) on Friday, while on the opposite of the bracket host No. 2 seeded Stanford (22-2, 8-1 Pac 12) – the nation’s No. 3 ranked team – will face UMass (15-7, 4-1 Atlantic 10). The winners will advance to the regional final on Saturday. All matches will be played at the Taube Family Tennis Center and match times are TBD.

Baylor is 39-20 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and is making its 18th appearance under the direction of head coach Joey Scrivano. The Bears' selection is the fourth-straight for the program.



Baylor will be facing LSU for the fifth time in program history and the first time since 1990, all wins by the Tigers. The Bears are 2-4 all-time against Stanford, last facing the Cardinal in 2011.



Last season in the NCAA College Station Regional, the Bears posted a 4-3 win over SMU in the opening round, before falling to No. 2 Texas A&M.



First and second-round competition in the NCAA Championship is held across 16 regional campus sites May 2-3. The winner of each regional advances to a super-regional comprised of just two teams May 10-11. The quarterfinals, semifinals and championship match will all be held in Stillwater, Okla., at the Greenwood Tennis Center, May 17-19.



Selections for the singles and doubles championship, held May 20-26, will be released Tuesday by the NCAA.



A complete bracket for the team championship is available at NCAA.com.
