Baylor and TCU brought another form of the school rivalry to Waco this weekend as the sixth ranked Bears women’s tennis team fought off an early deficit to take down the No. 21-ranked Horned Frogs 4-1 Sunday afternoon at the Hurd Tennis Center.

When head coach Joey Scrivano walks to his office in the morning, he passes a reminder of the success he and his women’s tennis teams have accomplished since he was hired as Baylor’s head coach in 2003. It’s not all about the hardware for Scrivano, though. It’s the process and culture that make the difference for the program.

No. 7 Baylor men’s tennis took down Incarnate Word and No. 73 Purdue 7-0, 6-1, over the weekend.

The Bears (4-0) have extended their win streak to four with two wins over the weekend.

“We’re just trying to build some momentum for what’s coming up,” head coach Matt Knoll said. “We just have to continue to improve for what’s ahead of us down the road.”

“We are a really young team and have a lot of new girls,” Burgic said. “It’s important for us to keep everyone on the same page and make the new girls trust and believe in what our program is doing.”

The term “jack of all trades” takes on a whole new meaning as Baylor athletes stand in for one another in sporting events outside of their scholarships.

Due to the rainy weather in Waco Wednesday, the No. 5 Baylor women’s tennis team was forced to move its home match to the Lion Indoor Tennis Center in Ennis.

Senior Diana Nakic is representing Baylor at the biggest collegiate tennis event of the fall, the USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships in Flushing, N.Y.

Senior Diana Nakic concluded her remarkable run at the ITA Texas Regional in Fort Worth on Tuesday by winning a title in the final match.
