On the last road trip of the season, the No. 31- ranked Kansas tennis team was unable to earn a victory in the state of Texas. The team lost its first match of the weekend 6-1 to the No.23-ranked Texas A&M Aggies on Friday and then was defeated by the No.11 ranked Texas Longhorns 7-0 vesterday.
"The 6-1 score really doesn't show how close the match was," coach Kilney Waterman said. "Today we felt some pressure from a good team and we played our matches really tight in the doubles and lost."
The Jayhawks struggled early against the Aggies as they lost two out of three doubles matches.
The lone doubles victory came from freshman Aurlie Bejar and senior Cheryl Mallaiah at No. 3 doubles with an 8-5 victory over Olivia Karlikova and Roberta Spencer.
Junior Kim Lorenz gained the only point for the Jayhawks with her dominating performance over Robyn Bassett 6-0, 6-4.
Texas natives and Jayhawk sophomores Courtney and Kristen Steinbock could not gain a win at the No. 1 doubles position and were defeated by Jessica Roland and Ashley Hedberg 8-4.
In another three-set match, freshman Paige Brown was defeated by Hedberg 4-6, 7-6(5), 1-0(7).
Malliaah played in her last regular season match as a Jayhawk and lost in a three set battle at No. 1 singles to Roland. 1-6, 7-6(1), 1-0(7).
In the second match of the weekend, Kansas witnessed Texas earn its sixth consecutive Big 12 title. Texas thoroughly dominated the Jayhawks at both doubles and singles positions.
The losses end the 12 match winning-streak for Kansas as they finish the regular season 15-5 and 9-2 in the Big 12.
Bejar played a tough match with Rebekah Forney with a first set tiebreak going in favor of Forney and eventually the match, 7-6(3), 6-4.
Next on the schedule for the Jayhawks is the Big 12 Conference Tournament on Thursday to Sunday in Lubbock, Texas.

The Jayhawks traveled to Norman, Okla, this weekend, where the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners' tough offense delivered two losses to the Kansas softball team.
The Sooners (38-12 overall, 11-2 Big 12 Conference) beat the Jayhawks 6-3 on Saturday and blanked Kansas (29-21 overall, 5-9 Big 12) 2-0 in a pitcher's duel yesterday.
Sooners snag games from softball team in weekend series
"Offensively we did some good things in game one, but they were very good offensively," coach Tracy Bunge said. "They are a very good offensive team."
The Jayhawks started the scoring early in game one after senior center fielder Shelly Musser drew a leadoff walk and senior right fielder Leah Tabb hit a two-run home run which put Kansas ahead 2-0.
"She's being very aggressive at the plate and good things are happening for her," Bunge said of Tabb.
Oklahoma tied the score with a two-run homer of its own in the bottom of the second. The Sooners added three more runs on three hits in the third inning.
The Sooners scored again in the bottom of the sixth when Tiffany Weight doubled to the left field wall and stole third. Weight scored on an RBI single by Christy Ring for the 6-2 lead.
Kansas added its final run in the top of the seventh. Freshman pitcher Serena Settlemier hit a single to center field, then advanced to third on a ground out by senior second baseman Amy Hulse. A single by senior shortstop Courtney Wright scored Settlemier.
Game two of the series was a pitching battle. Both teams managed just three hits, but a walk followed by a two-run homer by Sooner Heather Scagliolo in the sixth inning doomed the Jayhawks.
Sophomore pitcher Kara Pierce (11-8) started the game and took the loss, giving up three hits and four runs while striking out three. Settlemier and junior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan both saw action in the game.
"Kirsten threw a superb ballgame for us in game two," Bunge said. "But she was matched by what Jennifer Stewart did for Oklahoma. It was a pitcher's duel. One mistake did us in."
Milhoan kept Oklahoma guessing for most of the game but surrendered five walks and fell to 6-4 in the complete-game loss.
The Jayhawks travel to No. 4 Nebraska on Wednesday for a double header with the Cornhuskers. Game one is set for 3 p.m. at Bowlin Stadium.
