WACO, Texas – Baylor women’s tennis head coach Joey Scrivano announced the addition of Miska Kadleckova to the program on Monday. The transfer out of Slovakia played the last three seasons at Iowa State.



“We are thrilled to welcome Miska to the Baylor family,” Scrivano said. “She is a winner on and off the court, whose presence in Ames helped Iowa State become a highly competitive program. Miska will bring her competitive grit and toughness to Baylor while also being a great fit for our team culture. She is a natural leader who will help our team grow, and we’re excited to see her wearing Green and Gold.”



Kadleckova brings a career record of 99-40 (.712) to Baylor and is a two-time all-conference performer. Earning All-Big 12 Second Team honors in singles and doubles in 2023, she was the Big 12 No. 3 Doubles Position Champion as well. She broke the Iowa State school record for singles wins (29) and doubles wins (30) last year and owns a school-record 31 wins at No. 3 singles.



In her second year with the Cyclones, Kadleckova and her doubles partner were the first duo in ISU history to advance to the ITA National Fall Championships after winning the ITA Central Region doubles tournament. In singles play as a sophomore, she became just the fifth Cyclone to post two four-win conference seasons in school history and was one of two players at Iowa State with at least eight league wins and a winning record against conference foes.



As a rookie, Kadleckova helped Iowa State advance to the NCAA Championships for the first time in school history while becoming the fourth Cyclone to earn All-Big 12 accolades with a spot on the Second Team. Additionally, she was just the second Cyclone to be named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team and finished her first season with a 16-3 singles record.



Off the court, Kadleckova is a six-time Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selection, two-time ITA Scholar-Athlete and was named CSC Academic All-District in 2023.
