After posting two straight road victories for the first time this season, the Kansas women’s tennis team (4-11, 3-4 Big 12) fell to 12th-ranked Baylor, 6-1, in Waco, Texas, on Saturday.

“It was a good win for us,” Baylor coach Joey Scrivano said.

Baylor, which reached its highest-ever ranking at No. 12 last week, has won four straight matches and 14 of its last 15.

The Bears were without two of their top players, freshman Zuzana Zemenova and sophomore Klara Zrustrova. Both players did not play as a result of their involvement in tournament matches last fall, Scrivano said.

The Jayhawks failed to register a victory in the doubles competition, falling in all three matches.

In singles, Kansas managed to earn a point, courtesy of freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva.

The native of Obninsk, Russia, defeated Baylor’s Carolin Walter in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.

“She is going to be a heck of a college player,” Scrivano said of Avdeeva. “I was impressed with her poise on the court. I give her a lot of credit.”

The Jayhawks fell 4-3 to Texas Tech Sunday in Lubbock, Texas.

Avdeeva got past Cigdem Duru in three sets, 7-5, 0-6, 7-6.

Avdeeva has won six matches since joining the team in early January.

Junior Christine Skoda finished off Janet Durham in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0. The former Big 12 Player of the Week is (5-2) in the Big 12 Conference.

Freshman Stephanie Smith, who saw her two-match win streak snapped versus Baylor, redeemed herself with a victory against Katja Kovacic, 6-1, 1-6, 10-6.

The Jayhawks lost the doubles point for the second straight match, failing to win a single match.

The Jayhawks will return home this week and take a break from conference action, as Kansas will host Tulsa on Wednesday.
