The Kansas tennis team claimed two spots on the All-Big 12 team. Junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath were awarded with a spot on the All-Big 12 doubles team, and Avdeeva also registered a spot on the All-Big 12 singles team. Avdeeva and Horvath won the ITA Central Regional Tournament in October, and followed that up with a 15-7 record this Spring. The duo also recorded a 7-4 Big 12 record at the No. 1 doubles spot, giving them the conference’s second-best mark.
For the second year in a row Avdeeva gained a spot on the All-Big 12 singles team. Avdeeva, an Obninsk, Russia, native, had a 15-18 singles record for Jayhawks this year while competing at the No. 1 singles spot for Kansas. This was the first time Horvath, a Budapest, Hungary, native, has been selected All-Big 12 , while Avdeeva was selected to both teams last year as a sophomore.
