Huskers Knocked Out of Big 12 Championships by Baylor

Norman, Okla. - The Nebraska women’s tennis team was knocked out of the Big 12 Championships by fifth-ranked Baylor, 4-0, on Saturday afternoon in Norman, Okla. The Huskers end their season with a 16-7 record, which is identical to its 2008 campaign. Nebraska also ended the season by winning six of its last eight matches.

 

The Bears took the doubles point to start the match, giving them a 1-0 lead going into singles. The Huskers were never able to get on track in sinlges, although the matches were competitive. By the time the match was decided, both Mary Weatherholt at No. 1 and Madeleine Geibert at No. 2 were up a set in their respective matches.

“They have six awfully incredible singles players, and I think their doubles was probably the strongest I’ve seen,” Head Coach Scott Jacobson said about Baylor. “Yet, when we finished, we were ahead at No. 1 singles and No. 2 singles and a real tight match at No. 4 singles. So, we had some opportunities.  I’m really proud of the kids and the way they competed today and all season long.”

 

The championship match between Baylor and Texas, who beat Texas A&M on Saturday, will take place on Sunday.
