WACO, Texas – The No. 1-ranked and second-seeded Baylor men’s tennis team opens its NCAA Tournament run on Saturday at 2 p.m. CT against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco.

The Bears (29-4) are hosting No. 26 Alabama (14-11), No. 37 Oregon (16-6) and the Islanders (19-4) as part of the Waco Regional. This marks the 14th time in the last 19 years and 15th time overall that Baylor has hosted the NCAA First and Second Rounds.

The four-team regional kicks off Saturday at 11 a.m. as the Crimson Tide and the Ducks square off. The two first-round winners will play Sunday at 2 p.m. for a trip to the NCAA Round of 16.
