WACO, Texas – Baylor women's tennis improved to 5-3 on the season with a hard-fought 4-3 win over Arizona on Friday afternoon at the Hurd Tennis Center.
The Bears secured the doubles point with wins on Courts Three and One, then held off a late Wildcats push before No. 73 Na Dong delivered the clinching victory on Court One.
THE RUNDOWN
Baylor struck first with a dominant performance at the No. 3 line, where Dong and Alian Zack cruised to a 6-1 win. Moments later, Zuzanna Kubacha and Gabrielle Villegas closed out a 6-2 victory on Court One to lock up the doubles point. Court 2 remained unfinished with Baylor up 4-3.
Arizona took early momentum in singles with straight‑set wins on Courts Two and Three to go up 2-1. The Bears responded on Court Five, where Zack earned her second win of the day with a 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 victory to even the match.
The Wildcats regained the lead on Court Six as Luna Ivkovic fell in a tight 4-6, 6-7 (3) decision, but Baylor answered again when Mu‑Jie Tzeng battled back on Court 4 for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win.
With the match tied 3-3, all eyes turned to Court One. After splitting the first two sets, Dong powered through the third for a 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 clincher to secure the team victory.
QUOTABLE
Head coach Joey Scrivano
On today's win…
"Yeah, tough match, really proud of the ladies, they competed so hard. This was a total team effort, and it started with doubles. We came out really fast and strong in doubles, and then it carried over right to the last point in singles. Great team win, proud of the girls, and you know now we gotta recover and get ready for Sunday."
WHAT'S NEXT
Baylor returns to the Hurd Tennis Center on Sunday, March 1, to face No. 6 Arizona State at 1 p.m. CT with a Cub Tennis Clinic taking place first at noon.
