WACO, Texas - Baylor's ninth-ranked women's tennis team (9-2) won every singles and doubles match to sweep Iowa State (5-6) 7-0 on Saturday at the Baylor Tennis Center.
"Iowa State has a good team and I believe they are going to surprise some people this year," head coach Joey Scrivano said. "It's always good to get a win, especially when it's in Big 12 play."
The Lady Bears won each doubles match by at least three games and took the singles matches in straights on five of six courts. Sophomore Nina Secerbegovic recorded her 10th straight win to open dual-match play with a 6-2, 6-2 win, while senior Lenka Broosova cruised to her eighth consecutive win to open 2010 with a 6-2, 6-1.
Behind the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, Baylor was just as consistent. Taylor Ormond bounced back from a loss on Wednesday in singles, with a straight-sets win, 6-2, 7-5, over Tessa Lang, coming from behind in the second set. At No. 4 and No. 5, Csilla Borsanyi and Karolina Filipiak each dominated their opponents. Borsanyi dropped just two games in a 6-0, 6-2 win, while Filipiak lost just four in a 6-3, 6-1 victory. At No. 6, freshman Carla Lindlar dropped the first set 7-5, but fought back to win the second set 6-4 and the super tie-breaker 10-6.
In doubles, Iowa State put up a fight in each match at the midway point, but on each court the Lady Bears took control and won easily. Baylor took at 8-5 victories at No. 1 and No. 2, while the No. 3 doubles won 8-4. The biggest improvement for Baylor was the win at the second position where Secerbegovic and Lindlar came from behind to avenge a loss earlier in the week.
"I like our improvement at No.2 doubles today," Scrivano said. "Nina and Carla made some nice adjustments and played a very clean match from start to finish. The same goes for Taylor at No. 3 singles. She was ready to play and was much more focused today. When Taylor is focused and ready, she's an elite player."
The Lady Bears will be back in action with a west coast swing to take on No. 12 USC on Tuesday, March 9, and No. 4 UCLA on Wednesday, March 10. The meeting with USC will be the second of the season for Baylor, earning a 5-2 victory on Feb. 14.
