The No. 31 Kansas tennis team split a pair of matches against Kansas State and Texas A&M on Friday and Saturday at College Station, Texas but earned a spot in the women's NCAA tournament.
After receiving a bye for the first round, the No. 3-seeded Jayhawks defeated No. 6-seeded Kansas State 4-1 in the second round. Kansas was unable to beat No. 2-seeded Texas A&M in the third round, falling 4-2.
Kansas advanced to the national tournament by beating lower-seeded Kansas State.
"We knew that we would be coming into the match where the atmosphere would be tough," coach Kilmery Waterman said. "I thought we did a good job of bouncing back from the 6-1 loss that we suffered last week to A&M, and despite the loss, it really showed that we can compete with this kind of team."
the Jayhawks' doubles teams dominated the Aggies' teams early in the match. Jayhawks sophomore Emily Haylock and freshman Paige Brown defeated Aggies' Martina Nedorostova and Majorie Terburgh 8-5 at the No. 2 doubles position. The essential doubles point was won for the Jayhawks with senior Cheryl Malliah and Aurelie Bejar beating Olivia Karlikova and Roberta Spencer 8-4.
After taking the doubles point, Kansas struggled in singles by losing four of the final five matches.
Junior Kim Lorenz had the lone victory for the Jayhawks as she coasted to a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Spencer.
In the quarterfinals round, the Jayhawks proved once again their strength in doubles. Kansas earned the doubles point and would then move on to win three of four singles matches.
"We came out ready to win the doubles point and it helped us out a lot in this match," Waterman said.
Freshman Aurelie Bejar pulled through in a three set match against Wildcats' Andrea Cooper 6-1, 0-6, 6-1. Jayhawks' Brown also got a victory at the No.4 singles position by defeating Wildcats' Maria Rosenberg 6-3, 6-2.
After the matches, individual awards were handed out at the annual Big 12 Tennis Banquet. At No.6 singles, Lorenz was awarded as champion of her position along with Michelle Krink of the University of Texas and Spencer from Texas A&M. Bejar was also awarded champion at No.5 singles for her performance throughout Big 12 conference play.

Triple-header yields fleeting Hawk victory
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
Starting pitching proved strong for the Kansas baseball team in Nebraska, but the team was once unable to win a three-game Big 12 Conference set, winning yesterday's first game 14-3, but losing the second game 9-1, as well as Friday's game 4-0.
Senior pitcher Jeff Davis (5-3) went head-to-head with 'Husker pitcher Aaron Marsden, and neither allowed a run through seven innings.
Nebraska, though, broke the tie in the bottom of the eighth, when outfielder Drew Anderson hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Adam Riddle.
It would be all they needed, but 'Husker catcher John Grose followed Anderson with a 3-run home run to left field to put the game away. It was his second homer of the season, but it ruined any chance Davis had to win his third game against a ranked team this year.
Marsden allowed just three Jayhawk hits, all singles. He improved to 5-1 on the year, and dropped his ERA to a minuscule 1.39.
Olson (4-3) earned the victory, pitching 8 2/3 innings, allowing just three runs and striking out six.
Home runs by senior third baseman Ryan Klocksien in the third, and sophomore outfielder Ryan Baty in the seventh, plus a five-run ninth inning helped Kansas snap its losing streak.
Klocksien went 4-for-5 with his second homer to lead Kansas' 17-hit attack. Baty, junior first baseman Casey Spanish and junior designater hitter Kweller Wheeler all had three hits for the Jayhawks, who won just their second Big 12 contest on the road this season.

In the second game, Kursa's scored just once, when Baty grounded out and scored Spanish in the fourth. The Jayhawks briefly had the 1-0 lead, but Nebraska's Brandon Eymann punched a two-out, two-run single in the fifth to grab the lead they would not relinquish.
Husker Jed Morris hit two homers to pace Nebraska. Spanish went 3-for-4 with a double and a triple, and junior catcher Beau Thompson went 2-for-4 with a double to lead Kansas.
The Jayhawks will travel to Chicago for a two game, mid-week series with Illinois-Chicago. They play at 7 p.m. tomorrow night and 1 p.m. Wednesday.
