WACO, Texas – No. 4 Baylor men’s tennis took the win on Sunday evening over No. 34th-ranked Oklahoma, 6-1, at the Hurd Tennis Center to close out the home slate and celebrate its seniors.

The Bears (21-3, 3-1 Big 12) finished out the regular-season home schedule with a 11-1 record with the win over the Sooners (13-7, 1-2 Big 12).

BU celebrated its three seniors postmatch, recognizing Jacob Brumm, Sven Lah and Matias Soto and their families on court one.

THE RUNDOWN
Despite an hour and a half delay in start time, the Bears started off hot in doubles play with No. 4-ranked Sven Lah and Finn Bass winning on court one at a swift 6-0 over Welsh Hotard and Alex Martinez. Clinching the point was the No. 21-ranked Juan Pablo Grassi Mazzuchi and Matias Soto, winning 6-3 over Baptiste Anselmo and Mark Mandlik. Court three with Adrian Boitan and Tadeas Paroulek went unfinished, up 4-3 over Mason Beiler and Nathan Han.

Singles started, with all first sets finishing, then went into a rain delay. Play resumed, with Grassi Mazzuchi finishing his match, 6-4, 6-0, over Han on court six to put the Bears up 2-0. It then went into a second short delay with rain. Marko Miladinović fell on court four, 6-4, 6-4, to Jordan Hasson to give OU their first point of the match. Finishing third was No. 121 Paroulek on court five, winning 6-4, 7-5 over Justin Schlageter to put BU up 3-1 over the Sooners.

No. 114 Bass won his first set 6-4, then his second went into a tiebreaker. He won the match over No. 82 Mark Mandlik, 6-4, 7-6(1). Finishing the match were the seniors on courts one and two: No. 38 Soto and No. 73 Lah, respectively. Lah finished first, defeating Martinez, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, for the win. Soto finished 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(4) against No. 41 Beiler to complete the match at 6-1 for Baylor.

QUOTABLE – Head Coach Michael Woodson
“There were so many distractions today. Just the whole weekend, even. Everything that happened on Friday night, everybody’s family coming in; some of them have never been in the states before, don’t speak English. So, we’re chauffeuring the families around and catering to their needs and trying to prepare for two very important Big 12 matches. Then, we get to the match, and we don’t start anywhere near on time. Rain delays, starts and stops, are we going to go inside or not? It’s just taxing on the body and mind. And I thought Oklahoma used it to their advantage at times, as you would expect them to. But, for us to turn and close some of those matches, and then to allow the seniors to have the spotlight for a while was pretty cool. I was proud of the effort overall today.”

NEXT UP
The Bears finish out the regular-season in Lubbock when they face Texas Tech on April 16 with a 5 p.m. start time at the McLeod Tennis Center.
