THE RUNDOWN
FORT WORTH, Texas – Baylor’s Alicia Herrero Linana and Mel Krywoj claimed the doubles championship at the ITA Regionals Monday afternoon at TCU. The duo becomes the first BU team to win the ITA regional doubles championship since Blaire Shankle and Elizabeth Profit did so in 2016.

Herrero Linana and Krywoj started their day with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Jasmine Adams and Lucie Devier of North Texas. The senior duo – 13th nationally in the ITA preseason rankings – then moved on to the finals as the two-seed to take on the top seeded tandem of Texas A&M’s Jayci Goldsmith and Tatiana Makarova.

Between those doubles victories, Herrero Linana played in the singles finals against Kylie Collins of Texas. Collins prevailed, 6-4, 6-4.

The doubles win clinches a spot in the ITA Fall Nationals for Herrero Linana and Krywoj.
