WACO, Texas – The No. 26 Baylor women’s tennis team punched its ticket to the 2022 NCAA Tournament, marking the 23rd time in program history the Bears will complete in the tournament and the 16th time under head coach Joey Scrivano.



The Bears (15-8) drew Washington (14-11) in the first round with the expected match time at 10 a.m. on Friday at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center. If Baylor advances, it will play the winner of No. 7 seed Texas A&M (30-1) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (22-3) at 1 p.m. on Saturday.



Baylor advances to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight year after missing the tournament in 2019.



The Bears were originally scheduled to play Washington and Texas A&M this season, but both matches fell through. Baylor is 3-2 all-time against the Huskies, winning each of their last two contests. Against the Aggies, the Bears are 21-28.
