WACO, Texas – No. 21 Baylor women’s tennis dropped its semifinal match to No. 15 Texas Tech in a battle of the No. 4 versus No. 1 seeds, 4-2, on Saturday at the Hurd Tennis Center.



The Bears weren’t able to secure the doubles point, but fought off the Red Raiders with a pair of singles wins from Zuzanna Kubacha and Na Dong before Texas Tech punched their ticket to the Big 12 Championship final.

Dong was rolling on Court No. 4, making quick work of Andreea Lila, march to a 6-1, 6-0 victory to bring the dual match even at 1 point each. Texas Tech struck back at No. 2, as Dmitrichenko beat Tiglea, 6-4, 6-0.



Kubacha was next, bringing the match back to 2-2 with a 6-2, 6-2 defeat of Hlahola at Court Three.



Completing the match in a pair of third sets, the Red Raiders clinched the match at Court Nos. 1 and 6, as Sayfetdinova beat Kostneko and Jermine Sherif beat Nanaka Sato.
