She is now 3-2 in her career against ranked opponents. Fellow sophomore Angelina Shakhraichuk earned the third point to give the Bears a lead, topping Meredith Roberts, 6-3, 6-4, on court six.

The Horned Frogs evened the match three-all with a win at No. 4 singles, which left the team result to court three.

Freshman Kristina Sorokolet came through in the clutch for Baylor to clinch the match with a two-set victory, 7-5, 6-3, against Donika Bashota.
