AMES, Iowa – No. 26 Baylor (12-4, 3-0) handed No. 20 Iowa State (11-1, 0-1) its first loss of the season with a 4-3 victory Friday afternoon at Ames High School. It also marked the Cyclones' first loss at home since April 2019, a streak that reached 23 before the Bears came to town.

It all came down to court three where Paula Barañano and Alina Shcherbinina battled for the 7-5 win over Ange Oby Kajuru and Chie Kezuka.
No. 123 Shcherbinina made it 2-0 Bears with her 6-1, 6-1 win on court four over Anna Supapitch Kuearum. Kajuru put the Cyclones on the board with her 6-2, 6-4 win over Herrero on court two, but Krywoj extended the BU lead with her 6-4, 7-6, 1-0 (10-8) win on court three over Kadleckova.

Joey Scrivano on the match…
"I'm proud of this team. They competed well today. Road wins against top-20 teams are never easy. The ladies responded well to a challenging environment. Now it's all about recovery and learning from today's match. I know we will take today's lessons and use them in Morgantown."
