WACO, Texas – Baylor women’s tennis seniors Alicia Herrero and Mel Krywoj were selected to compete in doubles action at the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championship, the NCAA announced Tuesday afternoon. They are the Big 12’s automatic qualifier and are a top-eight seed in the 32-team bracket.



Herrero and Krywoj are currently ranked seventh in the nation with a 22-4 record on the year. The duo was ranked as high as No. 1 this spring. They are the first Bears to advance to the NCAA individual tournament since Blair Shankle in 2017.



The singles and doubles competition will be conducted May 23-28 at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex in Champaign, Illinois, after the conclusion of the team championship, which runs from May 20-22.



Automatic qualification into the Division I doubles championship is awarded to any conference with one or more eligible doubles teams ranked in the ITA Top 60 for eligible/entered doubles teams. For conferences with more than one doubles team within the ITA Top 60 eligible/entered doubles teams, the subcommittee applies the NCAA selection criteria to determine which doubles team is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All doubles teams must have started a minimum of 10 doubles matches, with a minimum of four matches in the spring, in order to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.
