THE RUNDOWN
ORLANDO, Fla. – No. 17 Baylor (6-4) saw its four-match win streak come to an end as No. 39 UCF (5-5) defeated the Bears, 4-0, Sunday afternoon at the USTA National Campus.

Ana Carmen Zamburek and Paula Baranano won their doubles match with a 6-3 win over Noel Saidenova and Jaleesa Leslie.

For the first time this spring, No. 1 Mel Krywoj and Alicia Herrero Linana dropped their match, 6-4, on court one to Evgeniya Levashova and Marie Mattel.

It all came down to court two where Anita Sahdiieva and Alina Shcherbinina played hard but dropped a tiebreaker, 7-6(3) to Sophia Biolay and Nandini Sharma.

The Knights followed up their doubles point by clinching the next three points on courts six, five and three in singles action.

Baylor will be back on the road with a match at Rice on Wednesday, March 2 before hosting a double-header on Sunday against North Texas and ACU. After that, the Big 12 season begins for the Bears.

TOP QUOTE
Joey Scrivano on the match…
"All the credit to UCF. They handled the ups and downs of the match way better than we did. I’m disappointed in our response today. We struggled to turn the page on negativity and focus on the controllables. The bright spots are Ali (Herrero) and Isa (Harvison) are really coming along and made strides today. We will have to bounce back quickly as we have another tough road match at Rice on Wednesday.”

UP NEXT
No. 17 Baylor heads to Houston for a match against Rice on Wednesday, March 2. It is slated to begin at 1 p.m.
