LOS ANGELES - Sporting a new No. 4 ranking in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, the Baylor women's tennis team picked up its seventh straight victory over a nationally ranked opponent by defeating No. 11 UCLA, 5-2, Tuesday in Los Angeles, Calif.

Baylor (9-1) fell behind early following doubles, but quickly rebounded in singles with wins by No. 18 Lenka Broosova, No. 22 Taylor Ormond, No. 24 Zuzana Zemenova, Jelena Stanivuk and Karolina Filipiak.

Filipiak earned Baylor's first point of the match at No. 6 singles to return to the win column after a hard-fought loss on Monday against Pepperdine. Filipiak's 6-3, 6-1 victory over Anna-Viktoria Lind tied the match at one before the Bears jumped out in front.

The Bears earned the next three points as Zemenova defeated No. 10 Riza Zalameda (6-2, 6-2), Stanivuk defeated Ashley Joelson (6-4, 6-1) and Broosova defeated Tracy Lin (6-4, 6-4) to clinch the match.

After UCLA earned a victory at No. 5 singles, Ormond fought back from a first set loss to pick up a 2-6, 7-5, 10-7 against No. 27 Andrea Remynse.

The victory came just hours after Baylor earned its highest team ranking in program history. Prior to the latest rankings, Baylor highest billing came during the 2006 season when the Bears were ranked No. 5 nationally for four consecutive weeks.

Baylor will next be in action as the Bears return home for matches against No. 15 Fresno State (Feb. 29) and No. 19 Wake Forest (March 2) before starting their Big 12 title defense on March 7 as they travel to Ames, Iowa, to take on Iowa State.
