The Kansas Jayhawks fell to the Missouri Tigers 4-1 Thursday afternoon in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Championships in Norman, Okla., ending their season with a 10-13 overall record and 4-8 conference record.

The Tigers move on to the second round to compete against the No. 1 seed defending Big 12 champion Baylor. Baylor is 11-0 in conference play this season.

Senior Jayhawk Edina Horvath shined in both the singles and doubles round. She and her partner, freshman Kate Morozova, were the only KU doubles pair to win; defeating Missouri’s Jamie Mera and Mallory Weber 8-2 extended their win streak to five matches.

After Kansas lost the doubles point, Horvath ended up being the only Jayhawk to win her singles match. It was her and senior Yuliana Svistun’s final match of their NCAA careers.

“I had an amazing time at KU. I loved every moment of it,” Horvath said. “I feel like I have great coaches and teammates. I am going to miss them so much. I wish I could stay and play many more years here.”

Coach Amy Hall-Holt said she was proud of her young team’s performance against the Tigers.

“Missouri’s a good team and they won it out,” Hall-Holt said. “We put it out there and it was a hard-fought match, but Missouri pulled it out at the end.”
