Baylor Men’s Tennis participated in the first round of the NCAA singles tournament yesterday. Through two hard-fought matches, sophomore Devin Badenhorst advanced to the next round against NC state’s Martin Borisiouk 6-4, 7 (9) -6 (7), and senior Oskar Brostrom Poulsen fell to Princeton’s junior Fnu Nidunjianzan 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
Since hiring Spavital this offseason (and moving redshirt junior quarterback Sawyer Robertson into the starting lineup), Baylor’s offense has sped light years ahead of where it was a year ago. Jeff Grimes’ wide zone offense finished No. 101 nationally at 23.1 points per game. In less than a full season on the job, Spavital has the Bears up to No. 23 nationally and second in the Big 12 at 35.1 points per game.
The Bears have scored over 100 points in consecutive games for the first time in the Scott Drew era.
The Bears (3-1) honed in on the defensive side of the ball, where junior forward Bella Fontleroy had a career-high five blocks. Head coach Nicki Collen’s team finished with 23 points off turnovers after forcing 11 steals and swatting away nine shots.
No. 17 Baylor volleyball fell to No. 12 Kansas, 25-22, 26-24, 25-17, on Saturday at the Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena in Lawrence. The heavy-hitting Jayhawks were too much for Baylor to overcome, as they snapped the Bears’ eight-game winning streak.
After knocking off West Virginia 49-35 and clinching bowl eligibility for the first time since 2022, a Baylor spokesman confirmed that head coach Dave Aranda will return for a sixth season in Waco.
Even the bye week can’t stop redshirt freshman running back Bryson Washington from rewriting the Baylor record books. Washington scored four touchdowns for the second game in a row as the green and gold won their first-ever game in Morgantown, 49-35, and clinched bowl eligibility against West Virginia on Saturday night.
