A trip to the Lone Star state ended in a close victory against the Texas Tech Lady Raiders on Friday and a loss to the Baylor Bears on Saturday for the No. 68 ranked Kansas tennis team.
The 4-3 victory over Texas Tech came down to the crucial doubles point and key victories in singles.
In doubles, the Jayhawks won two of three matches. Juniors Emily Haylock and Kristen Steinbock defeated Irina Tereschenko and Beverly Dawson 8-5 at the No.1 doubles position.
No. 2 doubles team junior Courtney Steinbock and sophomore Paige Brown dropped a close match to Tara Browning and Kendall Brooks 9-8.
Senior Kim Lorenz and freshman Christin Skoda sealed the doubles point for Kansas with an 8-3 win over Katja Kovacic and Anchen Lombard.
In singles play, Lorenz was down a set but fought back to defeat Browning 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 at the No.5 position.
Steinbock also lost the first set and came back to win against Tereschenko in No.1 singles, 5-7, 7-5, 7-6.
"The match really went down to the wire," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "Courtney got a big win in singles and Kim picked up a singles and doubles win so that will be nice for their confidence."
Kansas was unable to carry the momentum into Saturday's match-up with Baylor, which ended in a 6-1 defeat. The Jayhawks struggled in doubles by losing all three matches and the doubles point.
In singles, Lorenz came away with the lone victory against Izabela Mijic 6-3, 6-3.
Kansas drops to 7-8 overall and 3-5 in the Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks return home for a match against the No. 53-ranked Tulsa Golden Hurricanes April 5 at the Robinson Courts.

The Jayhawks misfired on a handful of scoring opportunities in the second game before ending in a scoreless draw.
