QUOTABLE

Head Coach Joey Scrivano:

Thoughts on the match…

“Yeah, loved the way we started off in doubles. You know, came out strong and we were really aligned. We did what we had to do and the girls just did a great job of executing. And then in singles it was a little different feel, and I think they did a good job of bouncing back from the doubles and pushing us in many of the matches. And then just glad that our girls were able to adjust and find a way to win. Good team win.”



WHAT’S NEXT

Baylor welcomes Kansas to the Hurd Tennis Center on Sunday, March 15, at 1 p.m. CT. A Cub Tennis Clinic will precede the match at noon.
