Kansas quickly wins dual match
Team has 10-10 record with two matches remaining
BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com
The lajwhays coasted to a 6-1 dual-match victory against the Tulane Green Wave over the week-end, equaling last year's overall record of 10-10.
They have two regular-season matches remaining before the Big 12 Championships are held later this month.
The doubles round was quickly over as Kansas won all three matches, holding Tulane to a combined five points on all three courts. Senior Edina Horvath and freshman Kate Morozova won
first, 8-1, followed by sophomore Marta Martínez and freshman Erin Wilbern's win, 8-1. With the doubles point already won, senior Yulianna Swisten and junior Kuri Dorn won, 8-3, to complete the doubles round sweep. Top doubles player Morozova is 8-4 when pairing with Horvath and 10-5 when pairing with Svisten.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt said that she was very pleased with the players' performances in doubles, especially considering the up and downs they have had this season.
"They set the bar high now so I know what we need to accomplish. We've got to keep going after it," Hall Holt said after the match.
The layhawks expedition play continued into the singles round. Morozwa defeated Tulane's Lindsay Dvorak, 6-3, 6-1, with ease. Martinez immediately followed Morozwa with a 6-4, 6-2

victory against Liz Hamlin. Just an hour after the match started, the Jayhawks sealed the dual-match victory when Svistun subdued her opponent 6-3, 6-2.
"We were talking about the match in the team room and thinking, "We have to fight every point,"" Svistun said. "We didn't know what they were, so we were ready for anything."
Tulane's entire roster is comprised of eight freshmen. This is the school's first season of tennis since it suspended the program in
2005 because of post-Hurricane Katrina budget cuts.
"We knew they had nothing to lose so we just went out there competing." Martinez added.
Dorn and Wilbert also won their individual matches in straight sets. Horvath, however, was unable to defeat the Green Wave's top player Mariam Kurdadze, losing 3-6, 6-3, 10-4.
With 14 singles victories, Wilbert has surpassed Horvath's 2008 team-high season total of 12, with Texas and Texas A&M still left to play.
"This week has been good, bouncing back from last week, and playing the way we did and competing hard. So now we're back to 10-10, so that's exciting," Hall-Holt said.

MIAMI — Josh Johnson's dominant outing was just enough to beat Johan Santana.
Johnson pitched a five-hitter for his second complete game in 45 career starts and the Florida Marlins scored two unearned runs to edge Santana and the Mets 2-1 Sunday, handing the New York ace his first loss since June 28.

Marlins defeat Mets 2-1 Josh Johnson pitches five-hitter, retires 15 batters in a row
Santana (1-1) had made 18 starts in a row without a loss, winning 10 consecutive decisions.
While Johnson retired 15 batters in a row, Santana was just as good. The left-hander struck out 13 in seven innings, allowing only three hits. But left fielder Daniel Murphy dropped a two-out flyball in the second for an error that led to both Florida runs.
Johnson (2-0) struck out seven,
walked one and threw 113 pitches
in a fast-paced pitchers' duel that took only 2 hours, 4 minutes.
The Marlins totaled only three hits but ended their season-opening homestand at 5-1, the best start in franchise history. The Mets play their home opener Monday night against San Diego at new Citi Field.
CARDINALS 3. ASTROS 0

Lohse (2-0) threw his fifth career shutout, and first since May 28, 2007, against Pittsburgh while he was with the Cincinnati Reds.
Khalil Greene had three hits and an RBI, and Ryan Ludwick extended his hitting streak to 16 games with an RBI single for the Cardinals, who went 5-2 on their opening homestand and limited the opposition to two or fewer runs in three of the last four.
