The Baylor Women’s tennis team came up short on Wednesday night against 4th-ranked Texas A&M at the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center. The Lady Bears took an early lead after winning the doubles point, but were unable to keep the Aggies from taking control of the match in singles play and securing the 4-2 overall victory.

“We definitely competed harder in that particular match than we have lately, but ultimately we still fell short,” head coach Joey Scrivano said.

The path for a consecutive National Title begins at 6:30 p.m. Sunday as the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears play No. 16 Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers in the Ferrell Center in the first game of the NCAA Tournament.

A stingy, glamour-less first half defense paved the way for the No. 1 seed Lady Bears to overpower No. 16 seed Prairie View A&M, 66-30, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday at the Ferrell Center.

Fans hoping to see Baylor women’s basketball carve its path to the 2011 final four can see the Lady Bears play No. 16 seed Prairie View A&M at 6:40 p.m. Sunday at the Ferrell Center. Students can buy tickets for Sunday as well as Tuesday’s second-round game for $15 each.

The February calendar ended in the first loss of the season for the Lady Bears, but as it turned to March, the team wasted no time getting back into the win column. In fact, they did it convincingly, beating Prairie View A&M 6-1 in the first of a double header on Tuesday afternoon.

Even though the Lady Bears softball team seemed to lack focus in the second game of their doubleheader against Prairie View A&M on Tuesday, Baylor run-ruled the Lady Panthers 8-0 in the fifth inning.
