WACO, Texas – Baylor women’s tennis opens the 2025 spring slate against Harvard on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center.



Live results for the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center are available online<https://sidearmstats.com/baylor/wten2/> with live streaming provided by Playsight<https://baylorbears.com/sports/2018/9/18/tennis-playsight.aspx>.



Baylor, whose 17-13 campaign in the 2023-24 season ended in a nail-biting NCAA first-round loss to LSU, returns six players to the roster for the fresh 2024-25 slate.



Among the newcomers, freshmen Na Dong and Wenfei Yu check in at 76th and 118th, respectively in singles. Third-year Bear Liubov Kostenko paired up with Texas Tech transfer Cristina Tiglea for an appearance in the NCAA Doubles Championship and will open the season at No. 13.



In fall play, Tiglea and Kostenko joined together for an appearance at the Waco-based NCAA Individual Championships but were knocked out of the first round of the doubles bracket. Freshman Nanaka Sato led the Bears in singles wins with nine and the pairing of Yu and Berry put up seven doubles wins last fall.



Fans who attend the Sunday morning match can be among the first to receive the 2024-25 team poster, featuring Brooke Thompson, Sierra Berry, Kostenko and Tiglea.



All home matches are free for fans to attend.
