Baylor Defeats Nebraska, 7-0

LINCOLN - Nebraska began the match losing the doubles point to Baylor (13-3, 2-0) on Saturday afternoon and wasn't able to battle back, losing the match, 7-0. The loss gives the Huskers a 14-7 record on the year, and a 0-1 record in Big 12 play.

"It was a tough loss to a really good team," Nebraska head coach Kerry McDermott said. "It wasn't for a lack of effort. I think the guys competed well. At the start of the match, I didn't think the final would be 7-0."

Baylor won all three doubles matches with all three scores being, 8-6.

The Huskers lost all six singles matches.

At the No. 1 spot, Baylor's John Peers defeated NU's Christopher Aumueller, 6-2, 6-7, 1-0 (10-4). At the No. 2 spot, the Bears' Sergio Ramirez downed the Huskers' Calin Paar, 6-1, 0-6, 7-6 (7-4). Baylor's Jordan Rux downed NU's Benedikt Lindheim at the No. 3 spot, 7-6, 6-3.

"I thought the top three spots would be more competitive than the bottom three, and you can see that with the scores," McDermott said.

The bottom half of the Huskers' line-up wasn't able to pick up a point either.

Robert Maytin of Baylor downed NU's Andre Stenger at the No. 4 spot, 1-6, 6-1, 6-3. At the No. 5 spot, Baylor's Luis Grangeiro defeated NU's Tom Blackwell, 6-3, 6-2. The Bears' Dennis Lengsfeld downed NU's Sebastian Florczyk at the No. 6 spot, 6-2, 6-4.

"I thought we'd play better, but we can't let the loss stay with us," McDermott said. "We got to come back and battle hard against Texas A&M next week."

The Huskers will take the court next on Sunday, April 10, when they travel to College Station, Texas, to take on the Aggies of Texas A&M. The match will begin at 1 p.m.
