CINCINNATI, Ohio – Baylor women’s tennis kicked off Big 12 action with a 5-2 at Cincinnati on Friday afternoon.



The win marked the second time in three seasons that the Bears have started league play with a victory.

Baylor bounced back and tallied its first point with a clean 6-0, 6-0 sweep by Kadleckova on No. 1. A straight-set win by Zuzanna Kubacha on court four pushed the Bears ahead before a 6-4, 6-1 decision from Isabella Harvison on court three gave BU a 3-1 lead.



Cincinnati collected its second point of the match with a win on court two, but a 7-5. 6-0 win by Zuzanna Frankowska on court six clinched the conference-opening win for the Bears. Tuhten’s 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 win at the No. 5 position gave Baylor the 5-2 victory to start league play undefeated.



The Bears continue conference play on the road when they travel to face West Virginia at 10 a.m. CT on Sunday.
