IRVING, Texas – Four Baylor student-athletes were recognized Thursday afternoon as the Big 12 Conference announced the 2026 All-Big 12 Tennis Teams, as voted on by league coaches.



Na Dong earned first-team honors in singles and doubles alongside Alian Zack, while Zuzanna Kubacha was named to the first team in singles and Mu-Jue Tzeng received All-Big 12 Freshman Team recognition.



Dong, the reigning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and ITA Texas Region Rookie of the Year, posted a 23-7 singles record across tournament and dual-match competition, including an 8-3 mark in Big 12 play this spring. Her year was highlighted by a 10-match winning streak spanning late non-conference and early conference action. The accolade marks Dong’s first career first-team singles selection.



Zack joined Dong on the first team in doubles after the duo helped Baylor secure 13 doubles points on the season, including a 10-2 record in Big 12 play. The pair opened their partnership with five straight wins, rebounded from their first loss with another five-match winning streak to cap a standout conference slate. The honor is Zack’s first career All-Big 12 selection and Dong’s first on a doubles team.



Kubacha earned her first career All-Big 12 recognition with a first-team singles nod. The junior finished the season 23-7 overall and 9-4 in conference play while competing exclusively at the No. 2 singles position. Eight of her nine Big 12 victories came in straight sets and she secured Baylor’s lone point in the Big 12 quarterfinals with a dominant 6-0, 6-3 win.


Tzeng made an immediate impact in her first season in Waco, compiling an 18-7 singles record and going 7-2 at Court Nos. 3, 4 and 5 in Big 12 action. Five of her conference wins came in straight sets. She won her first three dual-match appearances against Illinois, Tulane and SMU and put together a season-best four-match winning streak in the last stretch of spring.



The Bears open NCAA Tournament play Saturday morning against Wisconsin at the Mitchell Tennis Center in College Station after finishing the Big 12 slate tied for sixth place. First serve is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT and tickets are available now<https://12thmanfoundation.evenue.net/events/TN-NCAASW>.
